Visiting the 4 Day Tambopata Chuncho Macaw Clay offers you a unique experience in the Amazon jungle. The first day we immersed ourselves in the diversity of jungle life by exploring the upper part of Tambopata.
This area has an abundance of flora and fauna, and several species of birds, monkeys and other wild animals.
We will visit Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick, an amazing natural spectacle. Here, macaws and parrots congregate to eat essential minerals on the clay walls, where we can appreciate a spectacle full of biodiversity unique to the region.
This phenomenon provides the opportunity to admire these birds in their natural habitat.
On your trip to the Reserve we will visit Sandoval Lake, we will go by boat on the lake, observing alligators, otters and water birds. Sandoval Lake offers a fascinating contrast to the lushness of Tambopata and the bustle of Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick.
The Tour to the Tambopata reserve will give you an exciting experience. Connecting with nature in this remote corner of the Amazon is a unique opportunity to appreciate the importance of preserving these ecosystems for future generations.
