Jan 21, 2026: Eco Lodge Itororo

Today it rained pretty much all day and we walked and birded on the trails around the lodge. We went to the bird blind on the white trail to see if we could see tinamou- and we saw two species! We were out most of the morning and came back to have lunch at the lodge. After lunch and a short rest, we went out again for the afternoon. We didn’t stay out too long- the birds weren’t calling or coming out to be seen so we walked back down to the lodge, had tea & cake and birded a bit from the deck. Then it was time for dinner and bed.

We expected we would be wet from sweat but instead we’re wet from rain. It’s been cloudy and wet instead of cloudy and humid. We were worried we wouldn’t have enough t-shirts but it wasn’t a problem since we’re wearing our long sleeve shirts and rain gear. When we packed we figured we’d put away our cold weather clothes when we got to Brazil but instead we’re still wearing them.

Very nice blind- even had cushions on the seats

male(black) and female(cinnamon) ruby-crested tanangers- we never did see the ruby crest. I was disappointed to find out they are male and female instead of two different species
