Rio De Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro is a state in the South East of Brazil. The State has in excess of 500 species, with over 100 endemics. Most of these endemics are to be found in the Atlantic forest. These range from the tiny Black-breasted Plovercrest to the majestic Mantled Hawk. There are many sought after target species within this area, some of these include Saw-billed Hermit, Three-toed Jacamar, Saffron Toucanet, Black-billed Scythebill, Itatiaia Spinetail, Spot-backed Antshrike, Large-tailed Antshrike, Rufous-backed Antvireo, Streak-capped, Star-throated and Unicolored Antwren, Rufous-tailed, Scaled, Ochre-rumped, Squamate and White-bibbed Antbird, Black and Gold Cotinga, Grey-winged Cotinga, Hooded Berryeater, Black-headed Berryeater, Buff-throated Purpletuft, Pin-tailed Manakin, Black-capped Piprites, Green-headed, Red-necked, Gilt-edged, Brassy-breasted, Brazilian, Olive-green, Chesnut-headed and Brown Tanagers and Bay-chested Warbling Finch. If you are considering a trip to south-east Brazil you should allow yourself a minimum of 12 days to cover some of the key areas, habitats and sites. The following information should help you in planning a trip to Rio de Janeiro State and south-east Brazil. |

Carmo
This is a reliable site for Three-toed Jacamar Jacamaralcyon tridactyla and Rio de Janeiro Antbird Cercomacra brasiliana. Take the road from Além Paraiba (on the Rio de Janeiro / Minas Gerais state border, where the BR 116 crosses the Rio Paraíba do Sul) to Carmo. Just as you get to Carmo, there is a petrol station on the left. Take the dirt road to the left, beside the petrol station. After 2.5km, when you get to a place with forest on both sides of the road, look for the jacamars. A good way to see them is by walking along the track to the right, just after the patch of forest, playing a tape to them from the hillside. 5.2km further on there is a wooden gate on the left. Rio de Janeiro Antbird can be found in the thick vegetation just before the gate and the jacamar is here too.Itatiaia
I can add little to Forrester`s coverage of this site. The Maromba (Jeep) trail is now overgrown and practically impassable. Stay at a hotel in the park; there is cheaper accomodation in the town but you will have to pay each time you enter the park and may have difficulty getting in before 8:00am. The Hotel do Ypê is the best place the stay, but a little expensive. The food is not as good as it was. The Pousada do Elefante, just below the Hotel Simon offers budget accomodation. Shrike-like Cotinga Laniisoma elegans has been seen along the access road to the Hotel Repouso. Red-and-white Crake Laterallus leucopyrrhus (not on Forrester`s list) has been found in the marsh just above the town (outside the park).Perequê
The best site for the black-hooded antwren Formicivora erythronotos is near the town of Perequê, between Paratí and Angra dos Reis. Turn inland off the BR 101 into the town of Perequê (first town west of the nuclear power station). Drive up the main street till the end of the asphalt (1.4 km) and turn right. Continue for several blocks and turn left immediately after the football pitch (Campo da Gringa) on the left (1km). Drive along a dirt road for 7km; after the fourth bridge there is an open shed on the right with a dirt track to the left in front of it; the site is 200m further along the main road, through a barbed wire gate on the right, with a big tree on the edge of the road (three different becards nest in this tree). In October 1998 we found six pairs of the antwren here and also a nest of buff-throated purpletuft Iodopleura pipra. There are plenty of other good lowland forest species around.Reserva Ecológica de Guapi-açu - REGUA
REGUA is a non-governmental association with a mission to save the forests of the upper catchment of the Guapiassu river basin located within the municipality of Cachoeiras de Macacu in Rio de Janeiro state. The majority of the initial funding and direction for the project came from the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest Trust (BART), a UK based charity, but in 1996 the REGUA association was registered under Brazilian law and is now responsible for the management and development of the project. The association is comprised of local landowners and community members although BART maintains a close involvement in its management and funding.At the new Schincariol brewery just south of Cachoeiras de Macacu, on the road from Niterói to Nova Friburgo, turn left onto the road to Guapi Mirim. After 3km, at Funchal, opposite the Shogum petrol station, turn right (north). Follow this dirt road for 11,3km and at a fork with a number of signs pointing right to Guapi Açu, bear left. Cross a bridge and continue straight ahead (do not turn left at sign to Fazenda São João). Pass the Schincariol water catchment dam and a small cemetery and after 6,3 km you reach the fazenda of Nicholas Locke (tel. 021-9986-4715); where REGUA has accomodation for visitors. REGUA`s representative here in March 2006 was Alan Martin. The published list [420+] for the reserve can be seen on their website [see below].
Teresópolis - Garrafão
The place where Ricardo Parrini and a few others saw the Kinglet Calyptura Calyptura cristata in 1996 (no one has seen it since) is just before you get to Teresópolis, coming up the serra from Rio. 200m after the Garrafão petrol station, at a sharp left curve, turn right off the main road onto a rough track. Wind down the hill for about 500m. The calyptura was seen at a fork where the main track goes straight ahead and a paved track goes steeply down the hill to the right. This latter track goes through some good forest where there is a Dusky-throated Hermit Phaethornis squalidus lek.Teresópolis - Parque Nacional da Serra Dos Orgãos
You can enter the park between 8:00 and 17:00. In July 1999 the cost for six people to camp one night on the Trilha da Pedra do Sino, leaving the car at the barragem (dam) was R$70 (US$35). The road up to the dam (about 2km) runs through good forest. Leave the car at the dam (altitude 1100m - 3,600ft). The walk to the first campsite at 1900m (6,200ft) takes three hours, without stopping. The second camp site is at 2100m (6,900ft) after a further 1 1/2 hours. There is excellent forest all the way up to the first camp site, the trees becoming lower as you get higher. Near the second camp site you get above the tree line. Hooded Berry-eater Carpornis cucullatus occurs up to about 1500m, Black-and-gold Cotinga Tijuca atra and Swallow-tailed Cotinga Phibalura flavirostris from 1500m to 1800m, and Grey-winged Cotinga Tijuca condita from 1800m upwards. Recently the most reliable place for Grey-winged Cotinga has been on the hillside opposite the first camp site.contributor |

Reserva Biológica de Poço das Antas
http://www.jbrj.gov.br/pesquisa/pma/rebio.htmLocalizada na parte central costeira do estado do Rio de Janeiro, a Reserva estende-se por cerca de 5.500ha dentro do município de Silva Jardim (22º30` e 22º33`S e 42º15` e 42º19`W Gr.); fazendo limite com Casimiro de Abreu e Araruama.
Reserva Biológica do Tinguá - Petrópolis
A Reserva Biológica do Tinguá apresenta uma fauna bastante diversificada, destacando-se dois grupos: aves, com 296 espécies e anuros com 52 espécies. Abriga o menor anfíbio do mundo já descrito: sapo-pulga. Grandes mamíferos como a onça parda e outros espécies ameaçadas de extinção, típicas de Mata Atlântica, encontram refúgio na unidade.
Reserva Ecologica de Guapi Açu (REGUA) - Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest Trust
http://www.regua.co.uk/The Atlantic Rainforest, or the Mata Alantica of Brazil supports an incredibly diverse, unique and now highly threatened flora and forna. The destruction of this beautiful forest commenced with the colonisation of Brazil in the sixteenth century, but it was the massive destruction during the twentieth century from urban growth, industrialisation and farming practises that has really left us where we are today, with only 6% of the original forest remaining in total and just 2% in the lowlands...
Reserva Ecológica de Guapi Assu
http://www.regua.co.uk/R.E.G.U.A. (Reserva Ecologica de Guapi Assu) protects one of the last stands of tropical rainforest left in the severely depleted Atlantic Rainforest (Mata Atlantica) in Brazil. There are now 419 confirmed species on the REGUA list and a number of others are awaiting independent validation. Several additional species have been seen outside our reserve boundaries and it is only a matter of time before they are added to the list, and there is no doubt that others (especially at higher elevations) await discovery.
Reserva Ecológica de Jacarepiá - Saquarema
http://www.jbrj.gov.br/publica/rodriguesia/Rodrig53_82/resumos53_82.htmAfastada do mar cerca de 1200 metros, a lagoa está cercada por extenso brejo que, em época chuvosa, consiste em área de imundação favorecendo uma flora e fauna bastante diversificada. Situada entre a lagoa e o mar, encontra-se a mata seca de restinga com árvores em torno de 20 metros, de troncos grossos e galhos repletos de epífitas, remanescentes de uma época passada, quando grandes trechos de restinga eram revestidos por pujante floresta, em muitos pontos interligados à Mata Atlântica, formando corredores por onde se cumpria o ciclo vital e evolutivo da migração das espécies da fauna regional, sendo algumas endêmicas, como o Mico-Leão-Dourado.
Reserva Ecológica de Macaé de Cima
http://www.jbrj.gov.br/pesquisa/pma/macae.htmAinda não existem estudos precisos sobre a fauna do JBRJ, salvo uma relação de aves aí observadas, com 138 espécies de 34 famílias. Entre 1940 e 1980, tais espécies foram catalogadas pelo ornitólogo Augusto Ruschi (1916-1986). Dentre elas citamos: periquitos, tucanos, maritacas, saíras, gaturanos, sanhaços, tiês e muitos outros pássaros que fazem seus ninhos nas árvores do Jardim.

1995 [May] - R.W.Goldbach
http://maybank.tripod.com/SouthAmerica/Brazil-04-05-95.htmBird observations done during visits to the Pantanal, Brasilia and Parque Nacional Itatiaia, in connection to a business trip.
1996 [June] - David Abbott
http://maybank.tripod.com/SouthAmerica/Brazil-Rio-96.htmRio has a lot of beautiful habitat and lush, strenuous mountainous regions. I visited Reserva Biologica de Barra (a wetland reserve); marshlands along the southern regions of the city, Tijuca National Park and the Botanical Gardens. The birds can be challenging, but Tijuca NP and the Botanical Gardens are good places to start getting familiar with Brazilian birds...
1996 [November] - Chris Carpenter
http://maybank.tripod.com/SouthAmerica/Brazil-Argentina-10-11-96.htmThis is a report of a trip which my wife and I put together in about two months and took by ourselves in October - November, 1996. This was one of the most pleasant, bird-filled trips we have done on our own (so to speak, as you will see). Many, many thanks go to those who responded to requests for information, particularly Judy Davis, Dalcio Dacol, Richard Fairbank, John Wall, Annika Forsten, Rob Goldbach, Ellen Paul, and Claudius Feger. Their generosity contributed greatly to our smooth sailing and the enjoyment of this area. Northern Argentina and southeast Brazil are wonderful, although they can be expensive. We found the roads good, accommodations first rate, food delicious and plentiful to a fault, and the people were extremely warm and friendly, with a joyous approach to life. Be prepared to speak some Portuguese, and for English (and even Spanish) to be little understood in many areas of Brazil. We had a Berlitz Portuguese phrase book which was extremely helpful. If you haven`t been to Brazil, go see it.
1997 [March] - David F. Abbott
http://maybank.tripod.com/SouthAmerica/Brazil-02-03-97.htmMy abbreviated trip report and bird list for SE Brazil Feb 97. My seventh trip (first exclusively for birding) to SE Brazil, I spent over a week in NE Rio de Janeiro state. If anyone would like the full itenerary and details just email me and I`ll pass it on... This trip to SE Brazil Feb 24 - Mar 4 reinforced my impression that SE Brazil (my 7th trip to SE Brazil) is one of the birdiest and poorly studied areas. (It is very difficult accumulating bird information--but that is rapidly changing thanks to Victor Emanuel Tours - no affiliation!- and a few others.) SE Brazil is, at this timeof year, HOT AND HUMID. But spots along the forested, rocky Atlantic Coast can be quite refreshing, as afternoon may be passed studying 100`s of Magnificent Frigatebirds, Kelp Gulls and Brown Boobies.
1997 [October] - Peter Lonsdale
http://maybank.tripod.com/SouthAmerica/Brazil-10-97.htmI cashed in some frequent-flyer miles for a seat on Delta`s new service to Sao Paulo and Rio, and 10days solo birding in Brazil (October 3 - 12); with 3 days each in the Pantanal, at Chapada and at Itatiaia, plus 1day at Brasilia. Though I have some experience of neotropical birding in western South America, Central America, and Mexico, this was my first time in Brazil, so about 75% of the 300 species I identified were lifers. Of course, at these fabled sites finding new birds is no problem, but identifying many of them is, in the absence of any Brazilian field guide or an experienced human guide (I prefer to pick my own way around). My ID aids were Dunning`s Birds of South America, a photo aid...; the relevant pages of Forrester`s invaluable Birding Brazil, especially his site checklists; b+w xeroxes of much of Narosky and Yzurieta`s Birds of Argentina and Uruguay; and the notes which I made to check against my Ridgely and Tudor (Birds of South America, v I and II) and HBW (v1-3); which I left at home.
2001 [November] - Mark and Cindy Lockwood - South-eastern Brazil
http://www.birdtours.co.uk/tripreports/brazil/braz5/sebrazilnov2001.htmCindy and I recently returned from a short, but great, trip to southeastern Brazil. We visited two main areas, Ubatuba and Itatiaia National Park.
2004 [January] - Richard Raby - In Search of the Grey-Winged Cotinga
http://www.birdingbrazil.comI was finally about to lead my first birding tour around my local patch, which for the past 15 years has been Rio state in South-eastern Brazil. Would the next 15 days be that of a pleasurable reward for all those long and arduous field-days spent discovering and exploring some of the new localities that we were about to visit?
2004 [November] - Bird Tours
http://www.birdtours.co.uk/tripreports/brazil/braz17/braz-nov-04.htmThe itinerary worked well and during our 40 days in Brazil we recorded just under 700 species including 425 lifers, which in turn included 90 of the 100 possible trip endemics...
2004 [November] - Stephen Lowe
http://www.birdingbrazil.com:80/Richard Raby arrived as arranged with a car rented from Rio airport to collect me after a relaxing morning at the Serra das Tucanos Lodge, with leisurely studies of the extensive avifauna at the forest edge of the old plantation there. The drive to Marica via Itaburai and thence south on a very bad road through the deforested lowlands was not especially birdy, particularly in the heat of the day, but was enlivened by a couple of flyover White Woodpeckers and studies of Lesser Yellow-headed Vulture....
2005 [June] - Tropical Birding
http://www.tropicalbirding.com/tripReports/TR_Brazil_Jun2005.htmlWe headed back to Sao Paulo and flew to Rio, staying in the airport hotel so we could meet the Harpers when they arrived on their very early flight. First stop was some restinga along the coast for the endangered Restinga Antwren before driving to Guapi Assu Bird Lodge, our base for five nights. The Reserva Ecologica de Guapi Assu, or Regua for short, is a privately owned reserve in the Serra dos Ôrgãos mountain range, protecting 5,000 hectares of Atlantic Forest from lowlands up to 2000m in elevation...
2005 [November] - Chris Padley
http://www.birdtours.co.uk/tripreports/brazil/brazil-22/brazil-nov-05.htmHaving not been abroad for over 18 months because of illness we decided to take the plunge and go somewhere warm & good for birding in November...
2005 [November] - Stephen Burch
http://www.stephenburch.com/trips/brazil05/brazil05.htmThe lodge benefits from secure, delightful grounds, and strategically placed hummingbird feeders and bunches of bananas that attract Tanagers etc. You can sit in a comfy chair on the veranda, drink in hand, and watch the exotics coming and going - very relaxing birding! Alternatively, you can spend hours trying to get good photos of the passerines that hardly ever stop moving for more than a few seconds!
2006 [August] - Lee Dingain
http://www.birdtours.co.uk:80/tripreports/brazil/brazil-26/SE-brazil-aug-06.htmIn 2006, my partner Rachel Walls and I spent eight months travelling around South America. During our trip we worked for 11 weeks as volunteers at Reserva Ecologica de Guapi Assu (REGUA) - a nature reserve in the Atlantic Forest in Rio de Janeiro state, south-east Brazil. The reserve also has it’s own lodge - Guapi Assu Bird Lodge - dedicated to birders...
2007 [February] - Helen Heyes
http://www.birdfinders.co.uk/pdf/brazilfeb2007.pdf2007 [October] - Lee Dingain
http://www.surfbirds.com/trip_report.php?id=1299After spending a few months in 2006 working as volunteers at Reserva Ecologica de Guapi Assu (REGUA) in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, we decided to return there this year on a birding trip, but this time at the beginning of the austral summer. This enabled us to compare the birding here in October with the winter birding we experienced last year. On this trip we spent most of our time birding the trails at REGUA, but we also made of couple of excursions to nearby Vale das Taquaras at Rio Bonito de Cima, and Pico da Caledonia in search of high altitude species. Most nights we stayed at the excellent Guapi Assu Bird Lodge at REGUA...
