I highly recommend!
I arranged with Ricardo to spend two weeks travelling the length of Rio and Sáo Paulo states in search of the region’s special mammals and birds. Ricardo handled all the ground arrangements impeccably.

Everything we could have hoped for in a birding guide!
He had a relaxed pace and persevered until we got to see each target bird. One of our best birding experiences ever!!

Fantastic birding
I would go birding with him again in an instant. He is a great guide in general and a keen and knowledgable birder which is most important.

RICARDO BARBOSA
I was introduced to birdwatching by Tom and Heidi from Florida on the early 90’s. It was love at first sight and it changed my life for the better. My first bird on the binoculars was a gorgeous Brazilian Tanager. Since then I have explored almost every corner of the state of Rio learning voices and sites. In 2012 I started Pica-pau Tours and have traveled with birders of all different levels and countries.
I graduated journalist in 1986 and changed my career to tourism in 1989.
