This tour covers the endemics and near-endemics of Brazil’s south-eastern border. Moving from the lush coastal Atlantic Forest to the impressive woodlands and grasslands of the Araucaria Plateau before visiting the amazing Lagoa do Peixe National Park, this region feels somewhat like a coastal Pantanal! Highlights include Scaled Chachalaca, Sickle-winged Nightjar, South American Painted Snipe, Dot-winged Crake, Mottled Piculet, Blue-bellied Parrot, Red-spectacled and Red-tailed Amazons, Canebrake Groundcreeper, Marsh Antwren, Black-headed and Hooded Berryeaters, Kaempfer’s Tody-Tyrant, Creamy-bellied Gnatcatcher, Glaucous-blue Grosbeak, Chestnut-backed and Black-backed Tanager, Saffron-cowled Blackbird, plus the rare Tropeiro and Black-bellied Seedeaters.
