Miguel Castelino

Miguel has studied the flora and fauna of the subtropical rainforest for over 20 years. His focus includes birdsong identification in northern Argentina and southern Brazil.

A chief naturalist in Iguazú for six years, Miguel is the co-author of the inventory to the Birds of Iguazú National Park. His great field expertise in the Pantanal led to important discoveries such as the location of secret nests of the elusive harpy eagle in southern Brazil. What he enjoys the most is sharing his knowledge and showing unique bird and wildlife species to other people.

Miguel leads one group tour

The Pantanal, a seasonally flooded grassland dotted with cerrado woodland, is home to a vast array of birds, including jabiru stork and hyacinth macaw, and mammals, such as giant otter and jaguar. We search this naturalists’ paradise for its wildlife, often at close quarters, by vehicle and boat. Find out more about Wildlife of the North & South Pantanal
