Tour Description
Discover the spectacular macaw clay lick located inside the Tambopata National Reserve. This incredible place attracts macaws and parrots every morning, gathering in large numbers to consume mineral‑rich clay from the riverbank. With luck, you may also spot wildlife along the riverbanks – such as capybaras, caimans, or even tapirs and jaguars. Enjoy a unique landscape in the Peruvian jungle, with sunrise over the Tambopata River as your backdrop.
