More than 100 endemic birds on a single trip. That is what Northeast Brazil makes possible, and it is the reason this route exists.

The Northeast Supreme Tour crosses five states and four biomes over 25 days. It begins in the transitional forests of Maranhão, where Kaempfer's Woodpecker can be found in stands of bamboo and ends in the Atlantic Forest reserves of southern Bahia.

Along the way, the Araripe Manakin, described only in 1998 and confined to less than 40 km², the only place on Earth it exists. Lear's Macaw against the red sandstone of Canudos, a species that has climbed from fewer than 100 birds in the wild in the 1990s to around 2,500 today. Seven-colored Tanager in the Pernambuco Centre of Endemism, the most threatened stretch of the entire Atlantic Forest. Hooded Visorbearer in the rocky campos of the Chapada Diamantina. Slender Antbird in the mata-de-cipó of Boa Nova. And in the far south of Bahia, Banded Cotinga, Boa Nova Tapaculo and a long list of species most birders never get another chance at.

This is not a quick trip. It is a deep, demanding expedition through a part of Brazil that rewards in many ways, along a route Ciro Albano has spent years refining.
Our next departure leaves in a few days. We run this route regularly, and we are already planning the coming editions.

You can check the full itinerary and the upcoming dates on your website.

And tell us: which of these birds would pull you to the Northeast first?

The Musician Wren (Cyphorhinus arada) is a small bird that lives in the Amazon understory.

It has one of the most extraordinary songs ever recorded from any bird. Complex, melodic and unique.

It is one of the sounds that define preserved areas of the Amazon.

If this is already on your list, you know the beauty of witnessing this spectacle live.

If not, you should witness this unforgettable moment.

Brazil holds close to 300 bird species that exist nowhere else on Earth. We shared ten of them in an earlier list. Here are ten more, and this second group tells a very different kind of story.

Start with the ones that were lost and found again. The Blue-eyed Ground-Dove went seventy-five years without a single confirmed record before turning up in 2015, in one patch of native Cerrado grassland in Minas Gerais. The Black-hooded Antwren was considered gone for most of a century until it was rediscovered in 1987, in scrubby coastal vegetation in Rio de Janeiro that almost nobody was watching. The Grey-winged Cotinga spent nearly forty years in a museum drawer under the wrong name before anyone realised it was an undescribed species, and it still lives only in cloud forest high above Rio. The Pink-legged Graveteiro was new to science as recently as 1996.

Others are simply holding on. The Red-billed Curassow once ranged from Bahia to Rio de Janeiro and now survives in a handful of Atlantic Forest reserves. The Ochre-marked Parakeet, the Black-headed Berryeater and the Pink-legged Graveteiro all persist in fragments, including shade-cocoa plantations in southern Bahia where the native canopy was never fully cleared, a reminder that how land is used matters as much as how much of it is left.

And a few are simply singular. The Three-toed Jacamar and the Great Xenops are each the only member of their genus. The Opal-crowned Manakin, in the forests around the Tapajós, hybridised with another manakin long ago, and that lineage became a species in its own right.

This is what endemism really means. If any of these birds disappear here, it disappears everywhere. There is no other population, in no other country, to fall back on.

These are the species that shape how we design our itineraries. If you would like to build a trip around Brazil's endemics, send us a message and we will help you plan it.

And tell us: which of these ten would you most want to find in the field?

The first time you see a Harpy Eagle, you check if it's real.

The face alone stops you — that double crest, those eyes, the disc of feathers that work like an owl's radar, directing sound to its ears. Then you see the talons. Twelve centimeters on a female. The same length as a grizzly bear's claws. On a bird.

The Harpy Eagle is the apex predator of the Amazon rainforest. It hunts sloths and monkeys from the canopy — not by speed, but by patience. It sits. It listens. It waits. And then it moves.

Brazil has the largest Harpy Eagle population on Earth. We see them on our tours — adults at the nest, juveniles learning the canopy, birds perched close enough that you stop breathing.

Every time, the group goes silent. You don't plan that reaction. It just happens.

July became our biggest month in the field so far. And things are still building up to our peak season. Thirteen tours crossed Brazil between the first day of the month and the last, spanning four great regions: the Amazon, the Pantanal, the Atlantic Forest of the Southeast, and the Northeast.

In the north, the Manaus and Amazônia National Park Tour (17 days) ran early in the month, and the last days of July opened a Manaus and Carajás journey built around the Harpy Eagle. The Pantanal ran almost without pause: Best of the Southern Pantanal, a Pantanal and Itatiaia Tour (15 days), a ten-day Pantanal and Southeast custom, and a longer trip that paired the wetland with Alta Floresta. Across the Southeast, custom tours worked through Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Espírito Santo and our Southeast Popular Tour covered the Atlantic Forest. Up in the Northeast, a short custom explored Guaramiranga especially looking for butterflies. From the coast to the mountains, Amazon to Pantanal, most of the country's signature habitats inside a single month.

For stretches of the month, seven groups were in the field on the same day. From July 1 to July 31, there wasn't a day without a BBE group birding somewhere in the country. All told, it added up to well over a hundred guiding days packed into thirty-one.

To every traveler and every guide who was out there this month: thank you. And here are some highlights:

Every journey in the field becomes a collection of moments.

Early mornings on forest trails. Long drives between landscapes. The quiet excitement when a rare bird finally appears.

Over the years, many travelers have shared their reflections after exploring Brazil with us.

Their words remind us why we care so much about the details… from the routes we design to the guides who lead them.

Here are a few of those reflections.

To everyone who has trusted us with their journey, thank you.

What a Birdfair! Thank you so much Global Birdfair

We hugged friends we hadn’t seen in years and met wonderful new people. So many of you we’d only known through messages, planning trips together. And then to meet personally is something different. We love it.

And how good it was to see Brazil shining over there! The Embratur stand stronger every year, and so many Brazilians together showing the world what our country holds.

We’re coming back with renewed friendships, stronger partnerships, new ones just beginning, and one certainty: birding is about people just as much as it is about birds.

Tim and Penny, thank you for all the work you put into making this weekend the highlight of our year.

See you in 2027!

Every July, a corner of the English countryside fills up with birders from all over the world. And every year, we make the trip to be there.

This is our fourth year at Global Birdfair, and we would love to see you. From July 10 to 12, at Rutland Water in England, you will find the Brazil Birding Experts team at stand 28/29, in the Nightingale Marquee. Come and say hello.

And if you are going to be at the fair, tell us below. It is always good to know who to look out for.
