Eco Lodge Itororó is located in its own 50 acres of secondary and primary Atlantic Rainforest with over 200 species of birds recorded in the lodge grounds, it’s also strategically located to be able to easily reach the whole elevational range of the Serra do Mar Mountains from 50m – 2300m above sea level, therefore giving easy access to a wide and diverse variety of bird species.

In 2001, Eco Lodge Itororó had two suites and welcomed its first guests. Until then, Itororó had been the family vacation home since 1960. Today, the lodge has eight suites and two additional cabins. We still aim to keep it small, cozy, and quiet.

Our latest tour left Rio de Janeiro, the wonderful city, and headed to Eco Lodge Itororó in the Atlantic Rain Forest mountains of the Serra dos Órgãos, with a breathtaking stop for a few hours of pure delight watching the Golden Lion Tamarin their natural retreat.

Serra dos Tucanos Birding Tours had been asked to put together a private tour for 2 clients. The arrival day was a free day to acclimatise to their new surroundings. Arrival into Rio was at 06.00 and by 09.30 they had arrived well at Itororo lodge, their base for the next 7 nights.
