It is impossible to talk about Brazil Birding Experts without mentioning Ciro Albano's journey in birding tourism. It all began in 2006 when Ciro guided his first birding trip. Shortly after, he founded “NE Brazil Birding” and began offering outstanding services and unforgettable Northeast Brazil birding experiences to birders from around the globe. As his reputation flourished, so did the demand for his expertise.

In 2015, Ciro entrusted some of his clients to Caio Brito, who quickly proved his skill by leading successful tours. The two, close friends and collaborators, shared a vision: to showcase Brazil’s extraordinary birdlife while delivering top-quality service. They believed this vision could only be achieved by bringing together a network of ornithologists from across Brazil—many of whom were old friends. In 2018, Ciro and Caio officially founded Brazil Birding Experts (BBE), combining their talents to create something remarkable.

From the outset, the company’s growth has been a collective effort. Tatiana Pongiluppi has been an integral part of BBE since its inception, providing the professionalism and organizational structure needed to ensure steady, sustainable growth. Under her leadership, BBE now boasts a dedicated office team, and a network of expert guides spread across Brazil. Many of these guides are friends and ornithologists who bring profound passion and in-depth knowledge of their regions to every tour.

At BBE, our mission is to offer genuine, joyful, and memorable birding tours across Brazil while contributing to nature conservation and supporting local communities. As Ciro often says, “The universe conspires in favor of dreamers”—and this belief inspires us to dream big and work tirelessly to deliver unforgettable experiences.

We are honored to provide opportunities for people from around the world to connect with nature.
