Hyacint Macaw and Jaguar

BRAZIL - Pantanal

The Mato Grosso has so much to offer to birders as it is blessed with vast wetlands and large tracts of Amazonian rainforest – in the wetlands of the Pantanal we can watch Jabirus, Sunbitterns, Hyacinth Macaws (right outside one of our lodges) and large gatherings of herons, egrets and storks right next to our hotels in this birding paradise.


We've been visiting the Pantanal for more than 10 years now and in recent years we have encountered Jaguars during our birding excursions along the Transpantaneira and from boats on the banks of rivers as we watched Barefaced Curassows, Chestnut-bellied Guans and Nanday Parakeets with Band-tailed Nighthawks gathering to feed over the river as dusk fell!


We may be lucky again this year but the chances of other mammals like Giant Otters, Giant Anteaters or Tapirs are good too - some years ago we even saw a Puma.


The spectacular tablelands of Chapada dos Guimaraes where Cerrado birds take centre stage will give us the opportunity to see Red-legged Seriema, Horned Sungem, Whiterumped Tanager, Collared Crescentchest and Whiteeared Puffbird, to mention just a few of the birds typical of this rarely visited habitat.


Then it is to Serra das Araras which has become famous as having one of the most accessible Harpy Eagle's nest in South America. We are hoping that in 2018 the nest will be active and both parents will be in attendance.


But it's not all wetland birding in the Pantanal as we will also spend some time in gallery forest in search of Helmeted Manakin, Rufous Casiornis and Palecrested Woodpeckers.



NOTE: there is the possibility to combine this tour to the REGUA tour (see Brazil-Regua tour webpage) to get the best out of this south american experience! Tour leader is David Walsh for both tours. Ask us info about this tours connection!
