The Tambopata macaw clay lick

The Tambopata reserve has 274,691 hectares that is located in the southeast of Peru, one of the most fascinating forests with nature in the world. Where can we find the Chuncho macaw clay lick, the Tambopata River meandering through the lowland rain forest, small jungle villages, the largest national park in the Upper Amazon basin, giant otters, caimans, monkeys and a variety of birds. As the main attraction we can see in the Chuncho macaw clay lick where we can find 3 species of large macaws:

The blue-and-yellow macaw (Ara ararauna).

The Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao).

The red-and-green macaw (Ara chloropterus).

2 species of small macaws:

The chestnut-fronted macaw or severe macaw (Ara severus).

The blue-headed macaw or Coulon’s macaw (Primolius couloni)

and 9 species of parrots and parakeets such as The dusky-headed parakeet (Aratinga weddellii), The Blue-headed Parrot (Pionus menstruus), The White-eyed Conure or White-eyed Parakeet (Aratinga leucophthalma), The cobalt-winged parakeet (Brotogeris cyanoptera) The orange-cheeked parrot (Pyrilia barrabandi) and others.

One of the wonderful experiences that one can have in the Tambopata Reserve.

Overview

Sailing by boat and walking through the incredible jungle of Tambopata, a place where you can observe the spectacular wildlife of the low jungle with the beautiful capybaras that walk along the edge of the river, the caimans camouflaged in the sand of the beach sunbathing, the variety of turtles and if we are lucky we will be able to observe the incredible and imposing jaguar, not to forget our incredible visit to the Chuncho clay lick, which is world famous and known as a clay lick to observe the colorful macaws. Definitely the best combination to enjoy the jungle with comfortable and successful active excursions.
