Prepare for a thrilling journey into the Peruvian Amazon to witness the Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick, where vibrant macaws gather in a stunning display of color. Guided by our experts, you’ll observe these magnificent birds and uncover secrets of Amazonian wildlife in this rare and unforgettable nature experience.
Upon arrival at the Puerto Maldonado airport or bus station, our friendly guide will greet you and transport you to our charming jungle lodge, nestled in the lush Tambopata National Reserve.
After check-in and lunch, gear up for an enthralling guided trek through thriving rainforest trails surrounding the lodge. Over two hours, your eagle-eyed naturalist guide will introduce you to extraordinary wildlife and plants, like squirrel monkeys playing overhead, vivid macaws and toucans calling amidst towering Brazil nut trees, and tiny poison dart frogs dwelling by glistening bromeliads.
As the setting sun casts a golden glow over the jungle, return to the lodge to rest and restore with sweeping rainforest views. Once darkness falls, set out by boat to spotlight elusive creatures of the night – keep watch for glowing caiman eyes, fishing bats, and maybe even an enormous capybara foraging along the riverbanks. Gaze upward at the dazzling cosmos in pristine jungle skies before heading back for a delicious homecooked dinner and good night’s rest, serenaded by a symphony of insects and frogs. Adventure awaits!
Rise and shine for a vibrant dawn awaiting in the jungle! Enjoy coffee or tea before boarding our boat under the cloak of darkness. Skim along the Tambopata River searching for wildlife stirring at daybreak – perhaps we’ll catch a glimpse of the elusive jaguar or a stealthy anaconda.
As the rainforest comes alive with color and sound we arrive at the remote Chuncho clay lick, settling in to witness a spectacular natural wonder. For the next three hours, marvel as hundreds of scarlet, green and blue macaws, along with vibrant parrots and parakeets gather, their raspy squawks and whistles creating a cacophonous jungle symphony. Watch raptly as these striking birds jostle, feed and take flight in an explosion of color.
After an abundant breakfast, continue exploring by boat to spot riverside wildlife like lumbering tapirs, boisterous capybara families, sly monkeys and basking caimans. Bask in the thriving beauty of the jungle as our guide shares insights into this magical place.
Later, return to town reminiscing about the day’s wonders and dreaming of when you’ll next visit this verdant Amazon paradise!
