Visiting the Golden Lion Tamarins
Hi all. I am making a trip to the Pantanal next September. In the process of planning that trip I thought about staying in Rio and going make a trip to see the GLT. However, I had a hard time getting reliable information on how to do this. I contacted the ‘Save the Golden Lion Tamarin’ organization here in the US. I just heard back from them with some visitor information. Sounds like they have now set up formal way to make this visit. Too bad this information came long after my plans were finalized and I can’t change them now. But, I thought I would pass along the attached in case anyone else was interested. Hopefully, this pdf attachment comes through OK in this post.

I’ve also been exploring the option of visiting the Tamarins from Rio and have been in communication with Eugenio Souza ( http://www.rionative.com/rio.html ) . Otherwise I also found information to be quite scarce.

there’s also a brief review of sorts on Tripadvisor, with costs etc: https://www.tripadvisor.co.nz/ShowUserReviews-g303488-d654031-r307782327-Poco_das_Antas_Biological_Reserve-State_of_Rio_de_Janeiro.html

Has anyone made this trip recently? Something Im quite interested to do as some point, although would probably want a few days there to get decent images. The review on Trip Advisor says a day trip costs $625 per person! Would be interested to hear if anyone spent a few days there.
Regards

I think there’s just one species of lion tamarins and six species of marmosets: Callithrix pygmaea, C. humilis, C. jacchus (incl. penicillata, geoffroyi, faviceps, aurita and kuhli), C. argentata (incl. leucippe, emiliae, melanura, intermedia, rondoni, nigriceps, marcai, manicorensis and acariensis), C. saterei, and C. humeralifer (incl. chrysoleuca and mausei).
