Relaxing nature video of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. The Southern Amazon is home to an astonishing diversity of birds and wildlife. In only five days we were able to capture over 100 different species of birds, mammals and reptiles. We spotted all five kingfishers present in the area and many macaws, parrots and parakeets. We also came accross the tapir, the giant otter and the white-lipped peccari. High up in the trees we saw white-cheeked spider monkey, brown tufted capuchin and the white-nosed saki. True highlight were the mighty Harpy eagle and the primeval looking Hoatzin.
Welcome to our birding and wildlife expedition in July 2023 to the Cristalino River in the Southern Amazon in Brazil. We stayed five nights at the wonderful Cristalino Jungle Lodge and would like to thank the excellent staff and our amazing guide Roberto for this outstanding experience.
Sit back, relax and enjoy our relaxation video about the Amazon rain forest.
