November 2019 (Pantanal, Brazil)
Wild Parrots Up Close
The highlights of this trip will definitely be the Macaws, with 7 species to be seen in this area, including the very special Hyacinth Macaws. The Green-winged Macaws are also a great pleasure to see and what better way to do that than watching them fly below us in the ‘Macaw Hole’ known locally as ‘Buraco das Araras’, a large hole in the ground where we can walk around the edge and the Macaws nest, roost, feed and fly within the actual crater. Free 3 nights in Campo Grande extra to see the Macaw nest sites in and around the city.
