Pantanal & Atlantic Rainforest

Introduction

Embark on an unforgettable birding adventure through two of Brazil’s most iconic ecosystems—the vast wetlands of the Pantanal and the lush Atlantic Rainforest. Home to over 1,000 bird species, including the striking Hyacinth Macaw, vibrant Toucans and Tanagers, this tour offers unparalleled opportunities for birdwatchers and nature lovers alike. The Brazilian Pantanal is a sanctuary for some of the most iconic mammals of the American continent with very good chances for Jaguar, Giant Anteater and South American Tapir. The Atlantic Rainforest holds one of the largest concentrations of endemic birds of the world.
