For those wishing to focus on Brazil’s rarest and most threatened birds, the optional Endangered Endemics Extension targets key Atlantic Forest strongholds in Pernambuco and Alagoas. Beginning in Salvador and flying north to Recife, we explore lowland and foothill forests around Abreu e Lima, Tamandaré, and the famed Serra do Urubu. This extension maximizes chances for some of Brazil’s most elusive species, including White-collared Kite, Seven-colored Tanager, Orange-bellied Antwren, Scalloped Antbird, Pinto’s Spinetail, Forbes’ Blackbird, and Yellow-faced Siskin. Serra do Urubu remains one of the last refuges for several critically endangered Pernambuco endemics.

Combined, the Classic Tour and Endangered Endemics Extension form one of the most comprehensive birding experiences in Northeast Brazil, offering remarkable habitat diversity, scenery, and over 100 endemic bird species.

Tour Pace & Walking

MODERATE TO CHALLENGING: This tour requires a good level of fitness, stamina, and overall health. It’s best suited for experienced birders who are comfortable with a more active itinerary. Please note that it may not be ideal for avid photographers, new birders, or those with mobility or health concerns.

Moderate. Endemic and target focussed trip. Not suitable for dedicated photographers; inexperienced birders; or anyone with mobility or health challenges.

Accommodation

Mostly comfortable, some lodges are simple.

Ease of Birding

Moderate to demanding. Forest species visuals aren’t always of great quality. Forest edge & caatinga birding is more rewarding. Several low density or difficult target species.

Photographic Opportunities

Reasonable to good. Internal forest photography is challenging, several fruit & hummingbird feeders.

What our clients say about us

Forrest Rowland
BM, Brazil 2018

A Fantastic experience!! Considerably better than I had expected. Guides were fantastic!! And the inclusion of local Brazilian guide - Leo - was a real plus. He worked great together with Forrest Rowland, and his knowledge of the country and the vegetation was a real plus. The mammals and other critters were a real plus to the tour. The facilities, driver, and van were also great! Overall, this tour ranks among the top of the 7-8 birding tours I have ever taken, and Rockjumper is certainly a company I would highly recommend to others!!!

Tuomas Seimola
DB & PB, Brazil 2022

Very productive and relaxing tour

Robert Williams
JH, Brazil 2018

Rob Williams was helpful above and beyond the call by going out of his way to make it an enjoyable tour.

Dušan Brinkhuizen
PE, Brazil 2023

This was my second trip with Dusan and like the first trip, he made sure everyone was looked after to the best of his abilities and was always attentive to peoples differing needs. He worked extremely well with our local guide, who himself was attentive to everyone, and they both tried hard to get everyone onto the birds. No complaints to them whatsoever. I would be very happy to bird with Dusan again and probably will.

Lev Frid
