Wildlife Tours in Brazil

Wildlife tours in Brazil offer nature lovers a truly unique and diverse nature experience. Brazil is a country of continental dimensions, encompassing as it does nearly half of the area of South America. Over 1,800 bird species, 689 mammals and 55,000 species of plants can be seen here. It is home to the world-famous Pantanal wetlands where you can encounter Jaguars, Giant Otters, Hyacinth Macaws, Greater Rheas and Giant Anteaters.

Brazil is second only to Indonesia in its biodiversity and it has the planet’s highest number of endemic species. Part of the reason is that it is covered by 60% of the Amazon rainforest, an area that globally accounts for 10% of all species! Rainforest tours offer opportunities to see a wide range of jungle bird species, including Crimson Topaz Hummingbirds, Gilded Barbets and Pompadour Cotingas.

Impressive statistics are all very well, but what do they mean for someone planning a wildlife tour in Brazil? They mean that the in-depth knowledge of a local wildlife specialist is invaluable in ensuring a Brazilian wildlife experience lives up to expectations. Many of Brazil’s animals are tricky to see, particularly in the depths of dense rainforest. Only a local knows where popular roosting sites, drinking spots and migration trails are to be found.
