More than birds: a rainforest full of endemic life
The Atlantic Forest, in Southeast Brazil, is one of the most biodiverse and threatened biomes on the planet. Many of its animals live nowhere else in the world, and some of them came close to disappearing.
Today, thanks to long-term conservation projects, species like the Golden Lion Tamarin and the Muriqui are recovering, and seeing them in the wild is a privilege few travelers experience. The forest is also one of the richest places on Earth for frogs, and its trails come alive with butterflies in the warmer months.
With guides who know the region and its wildlife, this extension is the perfect way to complete your birding journey.
