On The Trail of the White Uakari, Maned Wolf and Muriqui

White Uakari, Maned Wolf and Muriqui

This extra-special programme offers you the chance to see some of the most remarkable yet least known mammals in South America: the white uakari, maned wolf and muriqui. Most time is spent in the state of Minas Gerais, but first comes deepest Amazonia and a unique floating lodge where the endemic scarlet-faced white uakari monkey is found. There follows the monastery with its maned wolves, then South America’s largest primate, the muriqui,  along with a cast of thousands of other mammal and bird species. A dream tour for the discerning naturalist who may be visiting Brazil for the second time.
