About me:
My name is Demis Bucci, I'm working with nature more than ten years (since 2011/12), but I'm a birdwatching since 2006. All my childhood I loved nature in general, mainly birds, I was live in a countryside of Sao Paulo state, where birds showing up all the time. Growing in a Musician family listening all the time about the right sound and right time, provide me a good ear, and nowadays I can use this for songs of birds. About eight years I working only in Atlantic Forest of Southeast Brazil, but in 2019 I started to go to the Pantanal biome and love it! I always knew Pantanal will be easy to work, because the light is fantastic, the birds showing up better than Atlantic Forest, because is more open area to work and was perfect! With big groups or small I working since 2019 in this fantastic place, over to Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul every time providing the comfort of clients, of course the birds and wildlife is important to show, but for me, the goal is providing a good experience in my clients, feeling what they want in that moment and try to do my best to cover it. On the trails take care where they walk, if they caring things to help it, to get a good experience in general.

Demis is a fantastic guide. He took care of ALL arrangements from transportation, food, lodging, and birds, birds, birds. He is well versed in the birds of the Atlantic Rainforest and found 221 for us. We stayed in three different lodges – all of which were perfectly suited, comfortable. Meals were typically buffet style with an excellent selection of food. Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, chicken and pork dishes, rice, beans. I’m still going through the bird list and double checking on my life list. Most of the birds we saw were endemic or nearly endemic so assuredly lifers. Lots of birds so similar in appearance but he knew them. We spent a lot of time driving on dirt roads with the windows down. He would suddenly stop and we’d get out and wait for him to clear a clearing and call the bird into sight. Not sure what to call a highlight. There were some really cute ones and many colorful ones. We saw three different hawk-eagles, toucans and toucanets. I enjoyed the puffbirds. The Bellbird was omnipresent and really cool, too. We would get up early in the morning and bird before breakfast, have breakfast and then go out again. We would take a break in the afternoon which found us napping. It was horribly hot – close to 40C on several days. Ugh. On a couple evenings we went out looking for mammals. I think the extreme heat left them quiet so we didn’t see much – just a tapir one evening. We also did some hikes to waterfalls. We spent one day caving which was super fun. At the conclusion of our trip, he got us back to the airport and dropped us off with plenty of time to catch our flights home. So slick and hassle free for us. Demis is truly a great ambassador for Brazil’s nature world.

I very highly recommend Demis as a guide. He is an amazing birder with a great ability to show people birds. In terms of logistics he was amazing. He picked us up at the airport and dropped us off at the airport. He thought of all the details of the trip and made travel easy and comfortable for us. He is a genuinely high quality human being, the real deal. He set up our itinerary for us and did a great job with setting a good pace for the trip. He got us out to where the birds are that we wanted to see. In the field he was even more amazing. He was able to get me on the bird immediately (a rare gift). He is super knowledgeable in the field. Not a chip note gets past him that he doesn't recognize. In three days we saw over 200 species of birds. Of the 200 plus species most were either near endemic or endemic to the Atlantic rain forest of south eastern Brazil. I cannot recommend Demis highly enough. I think he is a wonderful guide and an all round good person.

Demis is the most pleasant person anyone could imagine. He is positive, personable, and extremely knowledgeable. He is an excellent bird guide and works so hard to help you find your target birds. I have been on several birding trips and had several guides. Demis is the best! He is not trying to take his own pictures. He truly wants his clients to get the experience they're hoping for. Brazil will always be a birding favorite! Thank you, Demis! We are eager to return and travel with you again!!
