ADILEI IS REGUA'S ACE BIRD GUIDE 

​

When REGUA started in 2001, protection of the forests was essential and Adilei, as a known hunter, was invited to become a ranger. He accepted and began working in forest protection and his knowledge gained through hunting was transferred into deterring hunting. Our former bird guide, Leonardo Pimentel, recognized Adilei’s extraordinary capacity to imitate bird calls, and invited Adilei to accompany him on his surveys, teaching him the names of the birds.

​

Adilei found himself. His acute vision and intimate knowledge of the forest provided opportunities to expand his knowledge of bird calls and he soon learned the scientific, English and Brazilian names of every species regular at REGUA. He has basic English and has no problems getting people onto the birds he finds.

​

Today Adilei is a highly experienced bird guide with field craft skills that are second to none, and he is renowned internationally as one of the finest bird guides in South America. With Adilei’s knowledge of the forest and his ability to imitate birds, guests come away with a unique birdwatching experience.

​

Adilei loves animals and now sees the folly of his upbringing.

Adilei’s guiding services are extremely popular and we strongly advise that you book early to avoid disappointment – see our guide rates.
