*Fazenda Barranco Alto Eco Lodge Pantanal, Mato Grosso do Sul Marina and Lucas Leuzinger are the perfect hosts at this working ranch with a small well appointed lodge. Wild life (600 species of birds) is some of the best in South America. I think this is a place serious birders should visit at least once. You can drive to the fazenda in season from Campo Grande (14 hours drive) or fly (about one hour). Knud Rasmussen, Birdingpal
Pousada Piuval Poconé, Mato Grosso They have huge grounds with Hyacinth Macaws, Greater Rheas and Red-legged Seriemas, several trails, a couple of observation towers plus boat trips on the marsh to get closer to the waterbirds. Birdingpal Stephen Boddington
Pouso Alegre Transpantaneira Road KM33, Poconé The wonderful owner guides visitors around the different habitats on his 'ranch'. He is a naturalist rather than a hard-core birder, but he knows his local birds and ecology very well. The rooms and food are very good. Birdingpal J Duerr, Ohio
Cristalino Jungle Lodge Alta Floresta, Mato Grosso
Fazenda das Minhocas Horizonte, Minas Gerais
Pousada Horizonte Serra da Canastra, Minas Gerais
Guapi Assu Bird Lodge REGUA (Reserva Ecológica de Guapiaçu)/Rio de Janeiro Guapi Assu Bird Lodge is a birder-centric lodge one hour from Rio. It has amazing bird guides, lots of SE Brazil specialties in the forests owned by the lodge, day trips for special birds, and very nice accommodations with good food served overlooking their many bird feeders. The multilingual owner works diligently to include local communities in his conservation efforts. Birdingpal J Duerr, Ohio
Serra dos Tucanos Lodge Tres Picos State Park South/East Brazil
