Here's the second part of my Brazil experience this year, featuring the non-bird life. It was a pretty spectacular trip. Our visit to the Amazon yielded a lot of great mammal sightings, including one of the rarest finds of my career and several primates. In all, we saw eleven different monkey species on this trip, which is bonkers. The Pantanal once again came through with lots of jaguar sightings. I'll be leading this trip again in 2020 if you want to join me.
See the full gallery of wildlife photos here. A short preview is below.

Thanks Rick. Sadly, the next trip won't be any cheaper, even after paring it down by a couple days. Even when my markups stay the same, local costs keep rising.
