The Atlantic Forest is recognized as one of the world’s most biodiverse biomes. When it comes to birds alone, there are around 850 species—nearly half of all bird species found in Brazil (MMA). Within this context, conservation areas like Fazenda Bananal offer a unique opportunity for birdwatchers to observe (and listen to) an incredible diversity of native and endemic species.
Birdwatching at Fazenda Bananal begins at the enchanting Hummingbird Garden beside the Historic Farmhouse. This on-demand experience typically lasts two hours, with the option to extend to four hours for those who wish to immerse themselves even further. Guided by a bird expert, guests explore a variety of carefully preserved areas throughout Fazenda Bananal in search of memorable sightings and sounds, capturing the best moments this remarkable biome has to offer.
At the end of the experience, guests have the option to add a gourmet, plastic-free picnic—enjoyed on the grass or at picnic tables dotted around the farm—or savor a thoughtfully prepared lunch at the Bananal Farm restaurant. Both alternatives offer a relaxing moment to connect with the surrounding nature and celebrate the region’s culinary richness.

Please note: Birdwatching tours are subject to adjustments, as animal welfare remains our top priority. Tours are led by an ornithologist and depend on availability. The recommended start time at Fazenda Bananal is 7:00 AM, and activities are weather dependent.
