Here we are, back on one of the best trips in Brazil, through three different biomes and amazing landscapes. The weather in the first 3 days was a bit hostile and, due to a cold front, the temperature in Chapada dos Guimarães was about 10 degrees Celsius, making the first day cold and windy! Nonetheless, we had some great times with great looks at Collared Crescentchest, White-rumped and White-banded Tanager and Planalto Slaty-Antshrike. Another highlight of the morning was a group of Yellow-faced Parrots seen perched very close to the group. That was fantastic !!
The next few days were better with Curl-crested Jay, a pair of Black-faced Tanagers, and a single Tawny-crowned Pygmy-Tyrant, seen very well indeed on the Água Fria Road. Just before we started to return to Cuiabá, a Tataupa Tinamou was seen with delight by all.
On the way to the Cristalino Jungle Lodge, an old friend, the beautiful Point-tailed Palmcreeper, gave us a beautiful show, and along the Cristalino River our first surprise was a majestic Brazilian Tapir swimming nearby! Big moment. This was just the beginning of some wonderful days, full of good birds and moments like Pompadour Cotinga, White-browed Purpletuft, Red-billed Pied-Tanager and a group of White-whiskered Spider Monkeys very close to the towers.
It's always good to look at the forest from above, and this offers amazing experiences, as many Scarlet Macaws fly over the canopy, and the stunning Paradise and Opal-rumped tanagers, moving with the flocks. The towers are our best chance to look pretty as a Red-fan Parrot, Red-necked Aracari, White-necked Puffbird and on a very nice evening we had a chance to see a Long-tailed Potoo flying from above!
The mixed-species flocks, in general, were very active this year. We had a few great encounters, like Guianan Gnatcatcher (Paraensis) seen in the scope from the ground. Other rare birds seen well were the Spot-throated Woodcreeper and Dusky-tailed Flatbill. Beyond that, other specialties we found were Snow-capped Manakin, Collared Puffbird, Eastern Striolated-Puffbird, Alta Floresta Antpitta, Black-spotted Bare-eye and one of the most wanted birds for everyone who comes to Brazil, Zigzag Heron!
Some raptors were also well seen, especially a fantastic Cryptic Forest-Falcon seen in the scope for five minutes and a huge female Harpy seen, not too close, from the Sierra I trail observation point.
After those fantastic days, we flew to the Pantanal, where a different habitat and more pleasant birds awaited us. Jabirus in the nest, Plumbeous Ibis around the lodges, Whistling Heron, Hyacinth Macaw, and many other birds all over the place. The mammals were also very good on this tour, and after a great view of the Cristalino Jungle Lodge area, we had some amazing encounters with the Jaguars in the Pantanal. This is one of the best moments of these tours; those fantastic cats are doing very well in this region.
We also had a magical moment on the way back from Porto Jofre where an adult Giant Anteater was seen walking very relaxed near the Transpantaneira road.
We are looking forward to see you guys again!
Abraços!!
