Extension Trips

 
In addition to our own excursions we also offer birding extensions to Iguazu Falls and the Pantanal, these are professionally guided birding trips and will complement your stay at Serra dos Tucanos.


IGUAZU FALLS

This extension offers opportunities to bird in the amazing surroundings of the Iguazu Falls together with the chance of increasing the number of species seen within the Atlantic forest.

Staying on the Argentinean side of the falls allows you the opportunity to walk many of the trails into the forest and to see species such as Solitary Tinamou, Black-Fronted Piping-Guan, Spot-winged Wood-Quail, Great Dusky Swift, Surucua Trogon, Red-breasted and Toco Toucan, twelve species of Woodpeckers including the rare Helmeted Woodpecker, Black-Billed Scythebill, Araucaria Tit-Spinetail, Tufted Antshrike, Red-ruffed Fruitcrow, Plush-crested Jay, Blue Manakin and Southern Antpipit.
