Birding in Brazil – a short tour to the Itatiaia National Park



This holiday I am in my mother’s house, 1 hour by car from the Itatiaia National Park.

So, I wake up this morning and went to the park.

 

 

 

Birding in Brazil – a short tour to the Itatiaia National Park

I took my wife and my brother to have a breakfast in a hotel, and while in the hotel, I went for birding.

It was a very short tour, but as always, a nice one. Itatiaia National Park is an amazing place for birding and being in contact with nature.

The next three photos were taken in the verand of the restaurante.

After the breakfast, I went to a place to try theSlaty Bristlefront, but it didn’t show up.

When leaving the park, while driving down towards the park entrance, we saw a family of Cebus apella.
