Location along a busy and noisy road. But let's be honest. Most of Brazil sounds like this. Free cachaça at 5.30 pm. Choice from 8 different brands. Artificial fruit juice. Absolutely incredible, every Brazilian b&b, bar or restaurant has a stock of frozen portions of exotic fruits, allowing them to make tasty fruit juices. And most of them have a... More

My husband and I have just returned from a four-night stay here. We were really looking forward to going having seen the Malcolm Ryder DVD about the place and read glowing reports. In retrospect, we would have been better staying for longer at REGUA and just spending one or maybe two nights here to investigate the grounds and feeders. Firstly,... More

Andy Foster, the English proprietor was very helpful in assisting me to put together a tour of Brazil in August'12; apart from accommodating my wife and I at Serra dos Tucanos he also went out of his way to put me in touch with other reliable guides and tours throughout Brazil- Ubatuba,Itatiaia,Iguazu,Chapada and the Pantanal ( I wish I'd taken...

I had the pleasure of staying at this lodge for seven nights this March. and found the experience utterly delightful. Travelers that stay at the "Serra do Tucanos" must be aware that this establishment is designed particularly for the birding enthusiast and that is where it really excels. Throughout the grounds and on the side of the actual building there... More

All of our food and day trips were included in the price. We went out each day to various habitats with the lodge English speaking... More

Our group of eight stayed for 3 nights on a 31/2 week birding trip in Brazil. Our room faced the courtyard so we could get our surfeit of the dozens of hummingbirds constantly buzzing around the feeders. The room was large and comfortable with an adequate bathroom. Since we did not expect gourmet food we were not disappointed in the... More

My wife and I, both leisurely birders, spent four and one-half days at Serra dos Tucanos at the end of May 2010. Serra's grounds are located in a lush valley within the mountainous and protected Tres Picos National Park. A former banana plantation which has been allowed to regrow into forest, the grounds are lovely and many tanagers, honeycreepers, euphonias,... More

There is no doubt the location and the birds to be seen there make the trip worthwhile. The gardens are beautiful and well maintained with plenty of space and different habitats to see a variety of birds. The birding was excellent and the hummingbird feeders, fruit tables and the hide all catered to this main objective of a stay. The... More

Serra Dos Tucanos: My wife and I spent just two nights at Serra Dos Tucanos during our honeymoon in August 2007. We added the short stay to our itinerary after I decided, as a birder, that it would be a travesty not to spend at least a little time in the Atlantic rainforest. Accommodations and food: The room was excellent... More
