More to explore

Interests that can shape a tailored itinerary, depending on availability, field knowledge and what is feasible in each area.

Other mammals

Beyond primates, Anacã’s records include encounters with tapir, tayra and capybaras, among other mammals.

Nature photography

Itineraries can prioritise light, angles and waiting time. Open areas favour birds in flight and eye-level shots.

Butterflies and insects

Butterflies such as Amarynthis meneria and the stingless bees in our meliponary reveal diversity on a smaller scale.

Plants and trees

Century-old buriti palms, an angelim-pedra tree over 300 years old and great fig trees mark the farm trails.

Night wildlife

Owls, the great potoo, caimans and the elusive night monkey make the night a special time in the field.
