Our next ecotour to Brazil will include some favorites. This 7 night/8 day tour will take us to some exceptional sites. After landing in Sao Paulo, we'll fly on to Campo Grande where we will spend time with Neiva Guedes, the scientist that led the effort to preserve the hyacinth macaw. Next we will head to Posada Aquape for a couple of days where we will see plenty of hyacinth macaws, toucans, Amazons, conures and some quakers and pionus parrots. The next stop will be the San Francisco Lodge where there are often an abundance of nanday conures, Amazons and a variety of macaws. The final destination is the magical Buracas das Arara (the "hole of the macaws") where we will see greenwing macaws in great numbers.

After leaving Bonito on the morning of the 31st, the group will head towards Campo Grande for flights back to the U.S. However, if you elect to continue on the extension, we will hop on small Cessna planes to Baia das Pedras. After arriving that afternoon, we will spend 3 more full days at this very small family-run lodge is in the outer reaches of the Patanal. You can rest in a hammock while parrots shear off mangos in the tree above you, or take a hike to watch the hyacinths nest or drink in the marshes. We will have the opportunity for 2 daily tours, and there are several activities available to include riding horses, trekking, or canoe tours. Wildlife in this part of the Patanal has remained completely natural and without human interference - a beautiful sight to see. Watching parrots in a totally natural habitat is unforgettable, and we hope you will join us. Due to lodge limitations, this trip will be limited to 12 people.
