Brazilian Chaco

In the far southwest of Mato Grosso do Sul, in Porto Murtinho, Brazil meets the Chaco — a biome still little explored within the country, yet strategically rich for birdwatching. On the banks of the Paraguay River, a natural corridor linking different regions of South America, the area hosts specialised species rarely recorded in other Brazilian destinations.

With vegetation adapted to climatic extremes, low forests and dry formations, the Chaco offers a landscape distinct from the Cerrado and the Pantanal. Its border location and proximity to continental migratory routes further enhance its potential for unique sightings throughout the year.

Seasonality directly influences access, environmental dynamics and species presence. Careful planning with a specialised guide is essential to select the most suitable period and maximise observation opportunities. The Brazilian Chaco is more than an itinerary extension — it is a biogeographical frontier where every field outing holds real discovery potential.
