Northeast Brazil Supreme Tour - October

Twenty-five days, six states, and a special bird every single day! The Northeast Supreme is our most complete journey through the Brazilian Northeast. We begin in the Cerrado-Amazon transition of Caxias, hunting the enigmatic Kaempfer's Woodpecker and the elusive Rufous-vented Ground Cuckoo, then climb into the humid forest island of Baturité for the Grey-breasted Parakeet, one of the world's rarest parrots. From there we reach the Chapada do Araripe, the only home of the Araripe Manakin. We then cross the Caatinga to the canyons of Canudos for Lear's Macaw, and into the threatened Atlantic Forest of the Pernambuco Center of Endemism. The final stretch runs through the campo rupestre of the Chapada Diamantina, home of the Hooded Visorbearer, and the rich southern-Bahia forests of Boa Nova, Serra Bonita, and Itacaré. Across Atlantic Forest, Caatinga, and Cerrado, it is the Northeast in its fullest, rarest form.
