Beginning of Another Expedition Through the Atlantic Forest and Serra da Bocaina
Our tour began on June 3rd, 2025, with the arrival of the photography couple Linda Teh and Tetsin Yong, from Singapore, at Guarulhos International Airport at 7 a.m. Before heading to Itatiaia, we made a brief stop in Tremembé (SP) for a traditional Brazilian coffee and already started photographing some local bird species.
In Itatiaia, right after check-in, we began our photographic journey. Over two intense days, we explored the Itatiaia National Park and the Serra da Bocaina, where we had excellent opportunities to photograph a great variety of local bird species.
Our second destination was Salesópolis (SP), a region known for its abundance of hummingbirds and a well-placed hide for more elusive forest species. Rain started to appear during this part of the trip, and we spent three comfortable nights at a local lodge.
We then continued to the coast, with a stop in Ubatuba (SP). The weather shifted completely: in addition to the ongoing rain, the typical winter chill settled in, bringing new challenges and unique opportunities for photographing birds in the coastal Atlantic Forest environment.
