DAY 2
We will visit one of nature’s wonders, the spectacular Chuncho clay lick, the largest in the world. Here, the three major species of macaws get together simultaneously, and there are many varieties of parrots. Hundreds of parrots come together to eat clay, a special and unique behavior only found in this part of the planet.
We depart early at 4 a.m. and spend 2 hours on our boat upstream of the Tambopata River; to enjoy the best of the parrot show, arriving early before the birds is essential!
