This was simply one of the most incredible experiences of my entire life. I have already recommended this to friends and family that plan to visit Brazil in the future. We saw a shy river otter, tons of huge fish, and even floated under a tree filled with monkeys. Not to mention the incredible natural phenomenon where the spring that feeds the river comes up from the riverbed under a sand floor and looks like boiling sand. Check out the BBC Documentary Seven Worlds One Planet to see an HD version of this incredible river. The lunch afterwards was incredibly good, and I highly recommend chatting with the employees. I was taken around the grounds at the visitors center and shown all of the different birds that congregate in the trees on the property. Big red macaws and a few beautiful Toucans among many others.

Worthy of its reputation as one of South America’s best zoos, GramadoZoo is an animal reserve with a difference. Specializing in species native to Brazil and with an emphasis on animal welfare, GramadoZoo makes a welcome change for animal lovers, with spacious open living areas and most of the animals brought in as rescues. More than 1,500 animals currently inhabit the zoo, including capuchin and howler monkeys, tapir, emus and crocodiles, and a 1.800m walkways links each section. Most impressive is the huge aviary, where birds like arraras, parrots and toucans fly freely, while more dangerous creatures like jaguars, leopards and snakes can be seen from behind armored glass screens. Finally, for an even more thrilling encounter, visitors can also choose a night tour and take a peek at the zoo’s nocturnal residents.

All you need to do to help preserve it is to enter into the experience with all your senses.

Early into the bird park before the crowds. What a wonderful vision Dennis and Anna Croukamp had to set up this amazing park in the forest for rescued birds. As I am a bird lover, I was delighted to see such a large variety of birds from flamingos to numerous parrots, eagles, king vulture which I had never seen before, and of course the many macaws to the cheeky Toucans. One of my favourites was the red fan parrot, so colourful. It was such a delightful experience to wander through this bird park to see the birds up close. Take your time wandering through the park, you will enjoy it all the more.

It was a wonderful day culminating in the release back to the ocean of two sea turtles. Educational displays and exhibits are exceptionally well done and the music and activities for children were terrific. It is well worth spending a day. We were at the site in Florianopolis and the staff and facilities were great.

My husband and I visited Projeto Tamar during Carnival. It was amazing! As Brazilians, it is the kind of work you feel proud of. There are many big turtles and their small friends. There is an aquarium and you can see turtles swimming under water. Very cool!
