My 12-day clean-up trip to eastern Brazil was excellent. The planning and support from BBE was superb. Logistically, everything went smoothly, and the birding info was invaluable. Very highly recommend.

Discover the vibrant heart of Brazil's Atlantic Forest: The Popular Southeast Birding Adventure!

This short extension focuses on one of the most critical conservation regions in South America: the Atlantic Forest north of the São Francisco River, in the states of Pernambuco and Alagoas. With less than 2% of its original forest cover remaining, this region — known as the Pernambuco Center of Endemism — holds an extraordinary concentration of rare and threatened birds found nowhere else on Earth.
Over four carefully planned days, we visit key forest fragments and private reserves that still shelter species such as the critically endangered Orange-bellied Antwren, the iconic Seven-colored Tanager, Alagoas Tyrannulet, Willis’s Antbird, and the striking Long-tailed Woodnymph. Birding is focused and purposeful, combining lowland Atlantic Forest, coastal habitats, and the montane forests of Serra do Urubu — widely regarded as one of the most important bird conservation sites in the Neotropics.
Our route begins near Recife, with targeted birding for Pernambuco Foliage-gleaner and coastal specialties around Tamandaré, before moving inland to Serra do Urubu and the Pedra D’Anta Reserve. Here, hummingbird gardens, mixed-species flocks, and carefully managed forest regeneration offer some of the best remaining opportunities to observe the Alagoas–Pernambuco endemics.
Designed as a stand-alone trip or as an extension to a longer Northeast Brazil itinerary, this journey is ideal for birders with a strong interest in endemics and regions on the edge. It is a concise but meaningful experience — one that highlights both the fragility of these forests and the importance of the projects working to protect what still survives.

The trip was very well organised and Tatiana was a very knowledgeable and good trip leader, 100% dedicated to show us all our target species. I really enjoyed the trip and I would recommend BBE for anyone who is interested in Birding in Brazil.

7 days on the road with some of the best scenery and Psittaciformes Brazil has to offer. It's obvious that Tatiana Pongiluppi knows the southeast and its magnificent birds as the back of her hand. She's a skilled guide and fun to travel with. I loved every single moment of our trip ! Too bad it was so short but that's the best excuse to return soon.

Just wanted to thank all concerned at BBE for your massive efforts and considerable expertise aimed at making our recently completed 5-week extravaganza such a resounding success. The fact that such complex logistics were required (including some 13 internal flights, 7 different cars) and yet all went so smoothly was an achievement in itself. But then it was up to our 3 guides, Gabriel, Gustavo and Ciro to deliver the goods – which they duly did. Many of C-G’s targets were seriously tough to get, especially at this time of year, but we nailed almost all of them. So thanks again “guys”, to you and your terrific network of local experts…keep up the great work. We’re already looking forward to the next time.
