Fernando Farias

Fernando Farias is from Florianópolis (Santa Catarina), the place where he was born and developed his interest for birds, even before starting his undergraduate studies. During his undergraduate years he was involved in many studies with avifauna and his final year project was a comparison between birds of Santa Catarina Island (Florianópolis) and the near mainland. In 2018 he finished his Master’s degree in State University of Londrina (UEL) studying the pattern of richness and composition of birds along an altitudinal gradient in Santa Catarina.

He is passionate about traveling and discovering different landscapes, especially for birding and wildlife photography. He has visited many Brazilian biomes: Amazon forest, Pantanal, Caatinga and Atlantic Forest. He has also visited Patagônia, Pampas and Yungas during a road trip in Argentina and Atacama in Chile.

He is also the author of “Aves da Estação Ecológica de Carijós”, a bird guide of a conservation unit in Florianópolis.

With vast experience with birds of South Brazil, he works as a birdwatching guide in the region since 2014.

BBE and its team of guides (especially Fernando Farias) and support staff were great! Definitely the go-to outfit for birding in Brazil.

Our custom tour to SE Brazil exceeded my expectations on every front, from the quality of the guides to the food and lodging. We recorded over 530 species and our guide Fernando as well as the local guides at various sites were extremely hardworking and dedicated to showing us the specialties of the region. I will not hesitate to recommend BBE to anyone thinking about visiting Brazil for birding.

BBE has been a great company to bird with! Our guide, Fernando, was super knowledgeable about the region's birds and was always happy to answer the group's questions. The group was a nice size, not too big, and the accommodations were nice independent spots. Even when I had an odd flight leaving the country they accommodated me and arranged my transport to the different airport. I would recommend this tour group to anyone!

This was my second time travelling with BBE, this time to the Amazon and South Brazil. Just as with my previous trip, I can wholeheartedly recommend birding with BBE. The itinerary they planned for me was perfect in terms of habitats visited, time spent at each site as well as the quality of the guides, food and accommodation. Particular mention goes to my guides Pablo Cerqueira (Amazon) and Fernando Farias (South Brazil), who were not only excellent company but also excellent guides who were not only familiar with their region's birds and where to find them, but were also fully dedicated to helping me get the best views of the most difficult birds.
