Following another successful run of tours, we now have more trip reports available on our “trip reports” page, please visit for a read and let us know if you fancy joining one of our photographic or birding tours in 2023 or 2024!

Over the past couple of months we have been busy not only leading birding tours, but also a handful of custom photographic tours. Our photographic tours are designed to offer the bird photographer opportunities to capture their desired images by spending longer with their “target birds”. By using our local knowledge that we have built up in the Atlantic rain forest over the last 20 years, we can help the photographer get to the right places, to the see the right birds, at the right time, this together with comfortable accommodation and several feeding stations at Itororo lodge make the perfect combination for a wonderfully productive photographic tour.

After a months’ worth of successful tours to south-east Brazil, we now have two new Trip Reports available for you to view online. Please visit our Trip Reports page and have a read!

Please visit our Trip Reports page to read our latest tour report from the Naturetrek group that visited south-east Brazil in March 2022.

It was a great pleasure to receive our first group tour back through the doors of Itororo Lodge last week. We spent 8 days birding the Atlantic forest, seeing a respectable total of 282 species with a further 16 heard.

We had an incredible week with some wonderful moments, the most memorable of which were a male Large-tailed Antshrike, posing beautifully in front of the group for at least 30 seconds (!), the amazing response from the Giant Snipe as it glided down and sat just 15 metres in front of us, giving spectacular views. The tanagers didn’t disappoint either with amazing views of Green-headed, Brassy-breasted, Magpie, Gilt-edged, Rufous-headed, Flame-crested, Yellow-backed and White-bellied Tanagers, all putting a great show! The Saffron Toucanet on the first afternoon that responded so well to playback, flying in and perching in a tree above the lodge and the small family party of Spot-billed Toucanets that sat above us making the most peculiar calls whilst doing so are all such wonderful memories!

Why not join us on a tour soon and experience the pleasure of birding the Atlantic rain forest!
