Felipe Arantes

Felipe was born in São Paulo-SP and has been passionate about wildlife since he was a child, which led him to study Biology, becoming an ornithologist focusing on the natural history, morphology, and songs of Brazilian birds.

He has a broad experience with bird surveys and bird monitoring projects in protected and remaining natural areas, mainly in the Amazon and the Atlantic Forest. Due to his expert skill in fieldwork and ornithological knowledge, he collaborated in research projects and management plans, for example, in the Madeira River Basin and Gurupi Biological Reserve.

He currently works as a birdwatching guide and environmental consultant. The topics that interest him most are biogeography, bird sounds and natural history. He is fascinated by photographing animals in the wild and recording their songs.

The birding tour to the Mata Atlantica was outstanding and exceeded our expectations by far. Felipe Arantes deserves the greatest possible thanks.

Felipe was really amazing, and infesting! He did all that he could to make me enjoy the tour and accomodate my requests, very high level quality of guiding and huge knowledge of bird songs and calls

Felipe Antares has a perfect understanding of how to spend time where and how to allow time for photography without impacting overall objectives. He was able to find virtually everything that we had asked to see.

Our tour with BBE in NE Brazil was exceptionally well organized with a focus on finding us many many of the most rare birds in the area. It was well considered to maximize our early morning and late afternoon birding with transfers during the hot portion of the day. Our guide Felipe was excellent in his knowledge of the birds and making sure he was well organized to keep on track of time and knowing exactly where the best birds would be! We stayed in some delightful small remote accommodations when available.
