TRAVEL GUIDE:

 Witness the Spectacle of the Macaw Clay Lick Chuncho

On the final morning of your Amazon adventure, rise early for an experience unlike any other. After a light pre-dawn refreshment, embark on a serene one-hour boat ride upriver as the jungle awakens around you. As the mist lifts from the Tambopata River, keep watch for early-rising wildlife—tapirs, capybaras, or even a jaguar lounging along the banks.

 A Riot of Color and Sound

Arriving at the Macaw Clay Lick Chuncho, you’ll witness one of the most spectacular natural displays in the Amazon. Hundreds of macaws and parrots, adorned in vivid shades of red, yellow, green, and blue, gather to feed on the mineral-rich clay walls. Their vibrant plumage and piercing calls fill the air in a dazzling, unforgettable display of color and sound.

While enjoying this incredible spectacle, breakfast is served on-site, allowing you to relax and absorb the scene. Your expert guide will explain the fascinating science and indigenous knowledge behind this behavior.

 Viewing Window: Approximately 6:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.

 A Perfect Amazon Finale

Before returning, we’ll stop by a nearby interpretive checkpoint museum for a short visit. Then, cool off with a refreshing swim in the Tambopata River, surrounded by pristine rainforest.

After a hearty lunch and a peaceful moment in our hammock area, we begin the journey back to Puerto Maldonado by road, marking the end of your immersive 3-day Amazon rainforest expedition.

 What Is a Macaw Clay Lick?

In the local Quechua language, these clay walls are called “Colpas.” Rich in minerals like sodium and calcium, they play a vital role in the Amazon ecosystem. Birds and mammals consume the clay to neutralize natural toxins found in their plant-based diets and to supplement essential nutrients.

These sites also offer some of the best opportunities for wildlife observation in the rainforest, drawing not just parrots and macaws, but sometimes monkeys, deer, tapirs, and even jaguars.
