Introducing Atlantic Rainforest

Brazil's green edge, from coast to cloud forest.

Atlantic Rainforest brings together coastal rainforest, montane cloud forest, restinga, mangrove and forest fragments. Its wildlife context includes golden lion tamarin, muriqui, howler monkey, toucans, antbirds, amphibians and endemic atlantic forest species.

A strong journey begins with the governing landscape rather than a sighting promise. The biome survives in separated protected areas. A specialist naturalist and a precise reserve choice are more important than a broad regional label. Slow forest walks at first light, a midday pause and late birding or nocturnal work where permitted.
