7-Day Itatiaia and Ubatuba Atlantic Forest Birding with Boute Expeditions
A custom seven-day Atlantic Forest birding route through Itatiaia National Park and the coastal rainforest and feeder sites of Ubatuba.
About this tour
Travel from São Paulo into two classic Atlantic Forest regions: the mountain habitats of Itatiaia National Park and the humid coastal forests around Ubatuba.
Itatiaia offers hummingbird feeders, lower forest trails and high-elevation specialties such as Itatiaia Spinetail and Golden-winged Cotinga. Ubatuba adds productive feeder gardens and coastal rainforest for tanagers, antwrens, manakins, bellbirds, bristlefronts and nightbirds.
The source presents this as a seven-day custom tour with rates based on party size and a maximum of eight guests. Current dates, accommodation, meals, transport and price are confirmed after inquiry.
