Brazil Trip Registration 2027

A fun, adventurous, and engaging way to support bird and habitat conservation beyond borders

We invite you to join the directors of Klamath Bird Observatory and Mantiqueira Bird Observatory for a 10-day adventure exploring the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil. The trip will take place from August 11 to 20, 2027. During the trip, you will:

1. Visit natural landscapes and enjoy scenic places;
2. Hike through a diversity of habitats;
3. Observe birds and wildlife in nature;
4. Experience local culture;
5. Learn about birds, bird observatories, and international conservation;
6. Support Klamath Bird Observatory and Mantiqueira Bird Observatory science-based conservation beyond borders intern exchange program

Klamath Bird Observatory is well known for its broad international reach, focusing on partnerships and capacity building across the ranges of our shared birds. KBO’s bird banding internship program has trained over 300 interns from more than 17 countries. OAMa is a fruit of this capacity-building program, which is now running its training program in Brazil. As part of the continued partnership between these two observatories, we are pleased to foster an internship exchange program. After training in their home country, biologists will have the opportunity to visit and train at the other observatory. This trip is a major funding component that supports OAMa’s annual existence and ensures the continuation of long-term bird monitoring in a protected area of the Atlantic Forest in Brazil.

The cost is $ 6,300 per person, including in-country transportation, single-occupancy lodging, and meals with limited alcoholic beverages. The flight to Brazil is not included. The cost with a double occupancy discount is $5,800 per person.

A $3,500 deposit is required to reserve your seat. The final payment is due six months before departure. Both the deposit and final payment are non-refundable. A portion of the cost directly supports the intern exchange program between the two bird observatories and is tax-deductible. The maximum trip size is 12 participants; some activities will be split into smaller groups. We reserve the right to cancel the trip before February 15th if the minimum number of attendees is not met. Trip activities will include moderate walking, sometimes on uneven trails, and away from facilities for half to full days.

The 2027 trip itinerary is still in development. Take a look at the 2026 Brazil Trip Itinerary as an example.
