BRAZIL 2025
BRAZIL - APRIL 2025 - Blue Macaw Tour
Would you like to join Steve Brookes on a very special trip to Brazil with a chance to see up to 23 species of parrots of which 8 are Macaws including Lear’s Macaws (approx. 2000 in the wild) and the Hyacinth Macaw (approx. 5000-6000 in the wild) with a chance to see the newly released Spix's Macaws along with many other Brazilian Birds and wildlife as we travel through several states of Brazil in this stunning South American country
(full parrot list below).
Throughout this trip we are likely to see in excess of 150 bird species with many opportunities to photo, video or just observe them in their Natural Habitats.
In all a unique journey with many exciting encounters around every corner. In previous years we have seen about 400 Lear’s Macaws (close to a quarter of their entire wild population at the time) all together flying directly over us.
This will be a very popular trip and places will be limited.

I am putting an itinerary together now and more information will be available very soon.
ITINERARY OUTLINE
We will be starting this trip in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, moving north to visit the area for the Pfrimer's Parakeet (endemic to this area), before going further north to Piaui State for the Hyacinth Macaws. Then we travel north-east to the area where a small population of Spix's Macaws have been re-established in the wild. Travelling east from here we enter the roosting, breeding and feeding areas for the Lear's Macaws as well as Blue-winged Macaws. We then continue travelling east to Salvador on the coast where we can see the Jandaya Conures and Grey-breasted Conures then onto our flights home. Of course there are lots more Parrots as well as many other bird species with a few mammals along the way. Please note that Spix's Macaws are still difficult to see however we will be in the right area to see them but we just need a bit of luck. I was in this area in 2023 and although we did not find them, locals are saying that they are now coming to feed in their gardens and so I am very optimistic for this trip.
