These Are the Best Places to See Wildlife in Brazil—Pink Dolphins, Spider Monkeys, and Macaws Included
Brazil is an extraordinary destination for wildlife enthusiasts, offering some of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. From the lush Amazon rainforest to the idyllic islands of Fernando de Noronha, the spectacle of Brazil's nature is truly one-of-a-kind. Below, where to go, where to stay, and the best time to visit each destination. Go sunset boating at Anavilhanas Jungle Lodge. The Amazon is home to over three million species of wildlife, including the famous pink river dolphin, tree frogs, spider monkeys, macaws, and anacondas—alongside diverse fish species and reptiles, like piranhas and caimans. In the igapós, or black-water flooded forests, canoe through the small waterways to witness dolphins and vibrant birds; trek along ancient paths to hear howler monkeys; embark on a night tour to spot caimans; or traverse canopy platforms to view it all from above. A visit to a pink dolphin sanctuary offers insight into local conservation efforts, too. Though you can travel to the Amazon year-round, the dry season from June to November boasts lower water levels, which makes it easier to spot wildlife. Anavilhanas Jungle Lodge, located on the banks of Rio Negro, offers rustic bungalows surrounded by nature, with a lookout tower for panoramic views. The Pantanal is a biodiversity hotspot, home to 656 bird species, 159 mammal species, and countless fish and butterflies. As the world's largest tropical wetland, its waterways make it the ideal habitat for jaguars, capybaras, macaws, and caimans. Explore this vast wetland by horseback, canoe, nature walks, or open 4x4. To contribute to the region's conservation efforts, join expert biologists and vets to track the elusive jaguar or monitor macaws and their nesting sites. May through October is the best time to visit because the dry season draws animals to shrinking water sources. During this time, you can see the animals up close. The 18-suite Caiman is an ecological refuge that provides a luxurious, yet immersive stay where you can wake to the sounds of nature and take expert-led excursions. Part of the property has been set aside as a government-protected nature preserve, but most of it remains open, allowing cattle to continue living on the land. The Fernando de Noronha coastline, Pernambuco, Brazil. Vitor Marigo/Aurora Photos/CavanThe Fernando de Noronha archipelago is one of Brazil's most treasured natural sanctuaries. Seventy percent of its land and surrounding waters are protected as a National Marine Park. Conservation has helped preserve its rich biodiversity, making it a haven for marine and terrestrial species. Below the waves, you'll find pods of spinner dolphins, green sea turtles, spotted rays, and reef sharks, particularly in Praia do Sueste. Above the waterline, the cliffs and rocky outcrops provide shelter for seabird species like the masked booby, red-footed booby, and magnificent frigatebird. On this island, marine life thrives year-round, but August to January offers the best visibility for diving and snorkeling, with up to 30 meters of clarity and low swells. Visitor limits and an eco-friendly infrastructure reinforce the archipelago's commitment to sustainability, ensuring future generations can continue to experience its extraordinary wildlife. Pousada Maravilha offers an exclusive, eco-conscious stay overlooking Baía do Sueste, or Southeast Bay, known for its calm turquoise waters and snorkeling sites. Here, relax in the infinity pool and take in the protected landscapes. Colorful buildings in Pelourinho Historic Center in Bahia, northeastern Brazilian state of Bahia, with terrain that goes from tropical along the coast to semi-arid near the center, is a paradise for wildlife like the Golden Lion Tamarin, the Maned Wolf, and humpback whales. You'll also witness tropical birds, marine turtles, and sloths. Dive into Praia dos Coqueiros, a beach in the state of Piauí, for views of the coral reefs that attract tropical fish, manta rays, and reef sharks; cruise to Itaquena Cove for snorkeling amongst the corals; or swim in the refreshing waters of the Corumbau River and admire birds along the banks. Bahia can be visited year-round, but the best time for whale watching is during migration season, from June through November. During this time, mothers and calves can be seen breaching off the coast. An aerial view of Fasano Hotel Trancoso's bungalows. UXUA Casa Hotel & Spa and Fasano Trancoso make perfect bases for wildlife viewings in Bahia, as well as kayaking, surfing, and biking, due to its close proximity to the Atlantic coast. Further south, Fazenda São Francisco do Corumbau offers complete seclusion with sea-view bungalows nestled on a mile-long desert beach.
