May 26th, 2010
Have you ever seen a black-hooded antwren? How about a cock-tailed tyrant?
With 1,622 different known species of birds, Brazil is a birdwatchers' paradise. In fact, when it comes to sheer variety of birds, Brazil comes in third place among all the countries in the world, behind only Columbia and Peru.191 of those species are found nowhere else on earth, making Brazil a "must-visit" destination for birdwatchers with a taste for the exotic.
Brazil is home to over 70 different kinds of parrots, as well as countless other types of birds: flamingos, hummingbirds, hawks, eagles, toucans, penguins and many more.
Because Brazil is such a popular destination for bird-watchers, many companies offer "birding tours" to take you to the best places to view a variety of different species.
Get a Brazil Visa To Visit Jaú National Park
March 30th, 2010
To get to this week's featured UNESCO World Heritage Site, you must travel into the beating heart of the Amazon. Jaú National Park is part of the Central Amazon Conservation Complex, the largest stretch of protected forest in the Amazon Basin.
The park is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site because it shelters a unique variety of flora and fauna, both on land and in the rivers that wind through it. For example, the tropical rainforest ecosystem is home to jaguars, sloths, armadillos and uncountable numbers of birds. In the rivers, you'll find manatee, pink river dolphin, black caiman alligators, and the "living fossil" giant arapaima fish.
Watch out, though- Jaú National Park is also home to the widest variety of electric fish in world.
