Tailor-made birding and immersive natural history tours in Brazil with experienced bilingual guides.

This Fasciated Tiger Heron (Tigrisoma fasciatum) was a highlight of our recently completed custom tour of South Brazil. While fairly regularly encountered in the Andes, it is scarce along fast-flowing rivers in the Serra do Mar in Brazil's Atlantic Rainforest. This individual was seen on the Piraí river near Joinville, Santa Catarina state, on 4 May 2026.

We have a last minute offering for a tour to the amazing Southwest Brazilian Amazon, including a 6-night stay at Pira Açu Lodge. Due to a group cancellation, we are looking for 2 or 3 birders for this trip on the dates of 21 May to 3 June, 2026. The tour would run with just 2 participants, and we would probably cap it at 3 people unless there is a lot of interest. A rare opportunity to visit the region with one of the pioneering guides who shaped the itinerary that most companies now follow -- Bruno Rennó will guide this trip.

The long list of birds that we hope to find include rarities such as Rondonia Bushbird, Pale-faced Bare-eye, White-breasted Antbird, Campina Jay, Black-bellied Gnateater, Nocturnal Curassow, Rufous Potoo, Zigzag Heron, Buff-cheeked Tody-Flycatcher, Chico's Tyrannulet, Orinoco Goose, Ocellated Crake, and much more. It was at Pira Açu Lodge that we observed the practically unknown White-tailed Tityra in 2022.

One of Frank's interests is seeing new genera, which for a well traveled birder such as himself typically means odd, monotypic genera. So naturally I thought White-naped Seedeater would be an important bird for us in Roraima... until I remembered that it had been moved from Dolospingus into Sporophila. One study even considered it a sister species to Buffy-fronted Seedeater. I freely admit I don't understand much of the genetics and how they relate to taxonomy, but White-naped Seedeater in Sporophila seems like a travesty... Dolospingus forever!

Number one target on our recent visit to Canaima National Park and the Sierra de Lema, part of an ongoing custom tour to Brazil and Venezuela, was this Olive-backed Tanager (Mitrospingus oleagineus). For Frank this completed the Mitrospingid Tanagers family, an important completion toward his long term family listing goals. We encountered these chunky tanagers in small groups a few times during our visit.

Top target at Legado das Aguas for us was this Yellow-legged Tinamou (Crypturellus noctivagus), a real phantom of well-preserved foothill and lowland Atlantic rainforests that teases birders with its haunting, hollow song. Today we saw not one, not two, but a family of four of these tinamous!

Gabriel completed another customized tour in Espirito Santo following our Land of the Cherry-throated Tanager route in April. Despite the fact that it is mid-autumn in the Atlantic Forest, it was a wildly successful tour with 345 species of birds recorded in a 10-day run through this surprisingly diverse Brazilian state. This list included 56 Brazilian endemics. The top highlight was seeing a pair of the spectacular, Critically Endangered Cherry-throated Tanager, found late on the 2nd day of searching for it.

The one and only Agami Heron, digiscoped from a boat (!!!) in the Anavilhanas Archipelago in Amazonas, Brazil.

Anavilhanas during the height of the low water season (October - November, typically) is a slam dunk to find multiple individuals of this species, though juveniles typically outnumber the adults. This still ranks as my absolute best sighting of this iconic heron of the forested rivers, streams and swamps of the South and Central American lowlands.

Brad's report on an eye-opening four days of birding the once famous La Escalera road in the Sierra de Lema and the Gran Sabana in southern Venezuela is now online. Breathtaking scenery, amazing flora, ethereal mossy forests, fascinating geology and culture, and of course, a suite of brilliant endemic birds that I've wanted to see since before I stepped foot on the South American continent for the first time.

In spite of its troubled recent history and political problems, we had absolutely no issues during our time in southern Venezuela. Everyone was friendly or at least courteous in the case of the Guarda Nacional and the Army, and it is plain to see that in this part of the country, tourism was once taken very seriously and most involved parties -- including the local goverment -- are working hard to prove that the Gran Sabana, the eastern tepui chan, and the Sierra de Lema can once again be visited safely and successfully.

Red-banded Fruiteater from the Sierra de Lema last December... stunning!

This Golden-backed Uakari was a big highlight during a visit to the wild and remote Jaú National Park Parque Nacional do Jaú last June on a comprehensive custom tour to some of the top sites in the Brazilian Amazon. We spotted a small group of these fantastic monkeys as we cruised up the Jaú river aboard the Iara Boat - Amazon. Our exclusive cruise on the Rio Negro up to Jaú NP was undeniably the most indelible experience of the whole tour!
