Observação de aves no Parque Estadual dos Três Picos
Birding at Três Picos State Park
Três Picos State Park is the largest conservation area in the state of Rio de Janeiro, covering several municipalities across a wide altitudinal range. Its vegetated areas form a vast, continuous Atlantic Forest tract with Serra dos Órgãos National Park. At altitudes above 1,400 meters, altimontane forests occur, which are home to a rare bird species endemic to the state of Rio de Janeiro: the Gray-winged Cotinga — one of the main targets for birders visiting the region.The park has several access points, five of which are usually included in our birding tours in the region: Vale da Revolta and Jacarandá (Teresópolis), Jequitibá (Cachoeiras de Macacu), and Pico da Caledônia and Salinas (Nova Friburgo).
