Jan 22, 2026: Eco Lodge Itororo

Another full day of birding in the rain. We drove off to Três Picos State Park and stopped a couple of times along the way to see if we could find any birds. Mostly the birds were hiding from the rain so we didn’t see as many as we would have if it was sunny.

We had lunch in the parking lot of the park- there was only one other car their and they arrived after we did and left before we finished lunch.

After lunch we went on a short hike- it was so rainy and there were so few birds we bailed early from the hike and drove back to the lodge where we watched a few birds at the feeders before dinner and going to bed.

Our lodge is near the town of Nova Friburgo which is known as the undergarment capital of Brazil. There are lots and lots of lingerie stores and folks are always stopping to take pictures- here are the pictures we took:
