Recife Brazil

Hello all,

 

Heading to a wedding (unintended rhyme) in Recife, Brazil, in December for a few days and was wondering if anyone knows of any good wildlife spots accesable in the nearby area. I know its a long shot as i have less than a week.

 

Many Thanks

    Hello
    Try to aim for Engenho Gargaú
    Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural (RPPN). You could spot some nice birds but it is the main protected area for blonde capuchin and also host the endangered red-handed howler monkey. It’s 2:15 by car to the north.
    To the south, there is Rio Formoso with some endemic localized birds such as the Waterton hummingbird and Forbes blackbird. But we’re on mammal watching and of you head a little bit more south, you get to Tatuamunha where they protect and bring people to see the southernmost population of Caribbean manatee (fully isolated from others).

    Enjoy the caipirinhas as well at the wedding 😊
