"Stage 3" of the tour to Brazil took us to the famous Pantanal. From Carajas we connected with a flight to Brasilia and on to Cuiaba where we arrived late and stayed the night in a hotel. Early rise the next morning for our journey into the Pantanal and we stopped for birds pretty soon after hitting the Transpantaniera near Pocone with our first Southern Screamer. We hit on a lot of birds on our first day here including the iconic Hyacinth Macaw (left), but their thunder had been stolen by a pair seen in Carajas (where they are very rare, funny enough). We spent our first night in the Pantanal at Pouso Alegre Lodge where we feasted on some great birds the following morning like Chestnut-bellied Guan, Plumbeous Ibis, Jabirus, Grey-crested Cacholotes, Great Rufous Woodcreepers and loads more.
