Colorado Macaw Clay Lick

Reviewed By judithh966

Well worth the 4.30 start to the day - breakfast near the clay lick and display of 3 different types of macaws and parrots. Capobaras near by and just missed a jaguar which two researchers had seen trying to catch - but the capobarra won this time around!

Tambopata National Reserve

This reserve in the southern Amazon is rich in flora and fauna and the most biodiverse area of the rainforest in the Peruvian Amazon. The reserve has world record diversities in bird, butterfly, dragonfly, beetle and fly taxa. It is such an adventure to access the reserve sailing down the river and then staying at one of the local lodges. An unforgettable experience you can´t miss!

With two buffer zones. Tambopata National Reserve is the most protected of all the Amazon Jungle Reserves. Because of this, you'll see more animals at Tambopata than at other reserves. That's not to say it's not in jeopardy. Corrupt politicians, greedy people and companies still threaten the survival of the jungle. Trees have been felled to harvest the baby chicks of macaws for pet shop owners or to profit from the lumber. Locals feast on the monkey. Gold nuggets found in the waters in the jungle, perpetuate the legend the jungle sits on top of the Lost City of Gold, encouraging voilationsin search of riches. Oil and other natural resources incent the local politicians to turn a blind eye to speculator violations. Still, every year Tambopata has identified 4 or more new species in the jungle. We went during the rainy season. It was sunny and dry for 3 out of the 4 days, allowing us to see monkeys, otters, a variety of birds and butterflies, alligators, rodents, turtles and frogs, a variety of fish, all kinds of insects and snakes. The bigger animals shy away from humans and are almost impossible to see. The guides are very knowledgeable about not only the animals, but also the vegetation and flora. Their passion and commitment to the jungle is obvious. It's hot and humid in the jungle. The lodges don't have fans or air conditioning and the electrical power is only available for part of the day. Still, for many reasons, Tambopata is a great place to visit.

Lago Sandoval

We hiked to the lake with the guide from our eco Lodge. It was such a fantastic full day of exploring both the lake and the surrounding wildlife. Make sure you bring lots of water as it's an extremely sweaty and hot experience.

Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick

This is the largest macaw clay lick on earth, hundreds of macaws and parrots gather together to eat clay every day, the 3 large species of psitacis present in Peru come to this place to eat clay, they love the sunny days but even in rainy days or cloudy, they will come, may not eat the clay but will always go to this place so is easy to watch. This clay lick warrants all the species of large macaws, there are other clay licks in the area, each one far away of each other. But, not all of them have the visit of the 3 large species of macaws and 11 more species of parrots. With not doubt this macaw clay lick is the best in the world to watch this unique natural show in the Amazon jungle.
