Today we fly to Cuiaba from Sao Paulo or Alta Floresta if coming from the Amazon Tour, and drive to Emas National Park for a six night stay. Emas National Park encompasses a rich mosaic of exotic landscapes, each sheltering its own unique flora and fauna and represents a true gem in the Brazilian park system. Exploring the many microhabitats takes time and we shall enjoy our time searching for birds and mammals. The recently rediscovered Cone-billed Tanager is here along with the striking Helmeted Manakin, rare Great-billed Seed-Finch, the rarely seen Planalto Foliage-gleaner and up to 220 others. Graceful Long-winged Harriers quarter over the golden grasslands, while below them the comical but lovely male Cock-tailed Tyrants display above the tall grass. The rarely seen Bearded Tachuri is quite common here as is Black-masked Finch and Lesser Nothura. In the gallery woodlands Blue-and-yellow Macaws, the nomadic Yellow-faced Parrot and commoner Turquoise-fronted Parrots are easily seen. We should see Yellow-billed Blue Finch, Rufous-sided Pygmy-Tyrant, Horned Sungem and many other species seen only with difficulty elsewhere. The mammals are exceptional, including Maned Wolf, Giant Anteater, Brazilian tapir, both hoary and crab-eating foxes, and White-lipped peccaries and Puma. The big avian targets are the rare White-winged Nightjar and Giant Snipe which we have a good chance of seeing. Nights Chapada do Ceu.
