You step off the shuttle and the humid breath of the Atlantic Forest meets you first: damp leaf litter, a distant wingbeat, a high-pitched call threading through the canopy. Parque das Aves sits on the approach road to Iguazu National Park, a deliberate human-made refuge where aviaries open like rooms in a living museum and free-flying macaws wheel above wide boardwalks.
