I have a couple of spare days on a business trip to Rio – does anyone have any advice on birding guides, birding locations in the city or on nearby places to visit?

I can highly recommend the REGUA experience near Rio, it’s an amazing place. The guide Adilei is very good. There are numerous options re bird tours run by the inhouse guides – tho two days is not enough to explore everything.

Dear Ian, I spent two fantastic days at REGUA, a reforestation project about 2 hours from Rio in 2007. Excellent birding in endangered lowland Atlantic forest and the Serra dos Organs mountains. When i was there guiding was included in the price of acccommodation ( as were free post-birding caipirinhas). The are a few other places not too far away, such as the Serra dos Tucanos lodge run by an expat English birder. Further afield (3 hours from Rio) is the outstanding Itataia National Park. Within Rio, the Botanic gardens def worth a visit. Tijuca Nat Park offers some excellent birding, but you might need a guide to get the best out of the area. I wrote a report with some digiscoped pics and its on the web at http://www.cs.adelaide.edu/~ianr/Birding. Hope this helps.
