Dag 20: Morro do Mosa en Galdinópolis

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

Today, the owner of Regua is driving me around. He maintains his contacts, picks up a few things, and takes us to the Itororo Lodge. It is a beautiful little area where they have many feeding stations. Due to the altitude, 1200 meters, we have partially different species again.
