Mata Atlantica Tours & Trips
Ever heard of Brazil's other rainforest? The Mata Atlântica (Atlantic Forest) once covered Brazil's coast but now exists in fragments. What remains has incredible biodiversity, with golden lion tamarins, toucans, and thousands of endemic species. Visit reserves near Rio, possibly Serra dos Órgãos for hiking, or further south near São Paulo. The forest feels different from the Amazon, with more mountains, different species, easier access from major cities.
