Birding Tour Northeastern Brazil: The Finest Brazilian Endemics

Our northeast Brazil birding tour is designed to explore a very remote corner of one of the largest countries on earth. This birding tour to Brazil is an epic adventure which covers 2,175 miles (3,500 kilometers) across the states of Ceará and Bahia in 16 days. We will be birding along a route which includes breath-taking scenery and many unique neotropical ecosystems. In the search for an incredible set of birds (including loads of endemics, range-restricted specials and some of the most threatened birds of South America) we will bird a wide range of ecosystems which will include the caatinga (dry scrub dominated by cacti), cerrado (Brazilian grasslands) and Atlantic Forest.

Araripe Manakin will be one of the main targets of our trip.

We will spend our 16-day Brazilian birding tour looking for sought-after species including the Critically Endangered (IUCN) and incredibly beautiful Araripe Manakin, which was only discovered in 1996, and the Endangered (IUCN) Lear’s Macaw. Other specials include avian jewels such as Great Xenops, Pink-legged Graveteiro, Banded and White-winged Cotingas, Grey-breasted Parakeet, White-browed Antpitta, Gould’s Toucanet, White-browed Guan, East Brazilian Chachalaca, Crescent-chested Puffbird, Diamantina Tapaculo, Slender Antbird, Giant Snipe, Sharpbill, Blue-winged Macaw, East Brazilian Pygmy Owl, Pygmy Nightjar, Ochre-backed Woodpecker, Ceara Gnateater and the spectacular Hooded Visorbearer.

Please do join us on this fantastic birding adventure to northeast Brazil which surely ranks as a must-do tour for anyone from the most demanding of world listers, to intrepid birders to macaw-lovers, alike.
