Our guide, Ricardo Barbosa, was right on time, and soon had us out of the built up area and into Tijuca Park, where we birded a number of locations. Some were easy, carparks etc, others required some walking. We had 36 species by midday. Included in the drive were a number of stops at lookouts, where we had great views of Rio and the coast. The afternoon was spent at Gardin Botanico. Again very successful birding, but also a very good look at these great gardens. The next day was spent on the coastal road west of Rio. This was a great opportunity to see some remarkable scenery, but also to bird a completely different ecosystem.
We enjoyed our days with Ricardo, not only for his birding knowledge and skills, but also for the insights into Rio and Brazil that he gave us. Obrigado Ricardo.

We - a birder friend and I - two ladies from India, had wonderful one week birding in Atlantic Forest, Brazil with Ricardo as our tour organizer and guide.
I contacted Ricardo through Birding Pal website. He responded promptly and in detail which made planning easy. We had complete clarity on schedule and logistics. Subsequently, Ricardo was very helpful with our visa process and in answering our questions to get ready for the trip.
If planning was great execution was excellent. Spotting and identifying birds by call is necessary but not sufficient to be an effective bird guide. That requires good tools, perseverance, information of spots where certain birds such as Araucaria tit-spinetail, Giant Snipe, streamer-tailed tyrant, green-crowned plovercrest to mention a few, can be found reliably, the knowledge of bird behaviour, and most importantly ability to give clear pointers so that guests can spot the bird quickly.
Coming from Old World we were unfamiliar with the bird families and species (there is only so much that one can study in advance) of the New World. This meant we needed more guidance which Ricardo quickly understood and acted upon. And though we are not photographers in real sense of the word, we did want to take pictures even if only for the memory. This made Ricardo’s task somewhat difficult but he was fully up to it.
We had requested paper copy of the bird list which Ricardo prepared in detail. End of the day review was done diligently using this list. This was very helpful not only as documentation but also enjoyable as we relived those exciting and at times frustrating moments of the day.
We also had great conversations with Ricardo about socio-political-economic aspects of Brazil and India. Ricardo had a wonderful surprise for us; for the only long drive he had prepared a playlist – a mix of Brazilian Samba and Indian Pop Music.
Our sincere thanks to Ricardo for making the week that we spent birding in Atlantic Forest very productive and thoroughly enjoyable.

Pica-Pau Tours was one of the highlights of my trip to Rio. He answered my emails fast and was a very punctual guide.
His English is excellent, he is extremely knowledgeable about the local birds and fauna, and we had many interesting conversations about the birds that we saw.
Ricardo knew the forests that we visited well, and knew exactly where to find the different birds. A real thrill for a bird afficionado!
He used a laser marker to point out the birds to me, which made them very easy to spot. In addition, he wrote down the species type and the number of birds we looked so it was easy to keep track of the birds we saw. I could return to Norway with more than thirty different birds on my memory card!!! In other words a great success!
I went both to the Tijuca national park and Jardim Botanico, as we were so happy with our first trip.
I highly recommend Ricardo to anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining guide.

We had a terrific half day with Ricardo in Tijuca National Park! We saw dozens of new-to-us birds, from showy brilliant to skulky little stream-edge hiders. Ricardo was generous with his time. But wait, there’s more! Ricardo explained cultural and historical facets of Rio as well. Without Ricardo, we would never have known that the artist behind a famous mosaic stairway self-imolated on the stairway when ten years of work was done. A tour with Ricardo is a must for any birder visiting Rio!

Wonderful day with Ricardo in Tijuca National Park. Amazing knowledge of the avifauna there and a great teacher making a big effort to "see" all the birds. The park and Ricardo were wonderful. You will not regret this side trip during your visit to Rio. More than 60 species (most of them "lifers" for me.

My wife and I did a half day tour with Ricardo, we originally had set January 13th but because of the heavy rains we mutually decided to cancel. We were able to arrange the tour the following day. I would give Ricardo 7 stars if I could, not only is he is a great guide and he is great person. 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. He is also a thoroughly nice guy, with an innate understanding of the natural world, a knowledge that he is keen to share. I had a great experience. Indeed, I hope we travel together again. Highly recommended

Hi Neotropic
We really recommend Ricardo Barbosa. We spent 3 days with him in Itatiaia in February. He knows the park very well, all the special hideouts of specific birds. He is also a very nice person.
