What it is

Ubatuba is the coastal face of the Atlantic Forest — hummingbird feeders, tanagers and lowland endemics where forest meets the sea.

On the São Paulo coast, Ubatuba offers lowland and coastal Atlantic Forest birding: hummingbird feeders alive with sun-angels and hermits, tanagers, manakins and a suite of lowland endemics distinct from the highland sites — a rich complement to the inland forest lodges.
