Tambopata and macaw clay lick 3D/2N

We will wake up early, at 4:30 a.m., to begin our 60-minute journey upriver to the “El Chuncho” macaw clay lick in the Tambopata National Reserve. We will have the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful natural landscapes and wildlife along the riverbanks. Upon arrival, weather permitting, we will witness one of the greatest wildlife spectacles: hundreds of parrots and different species of macaws gather to eat clay, an unforgettable experience. We will have breakfast while we wait for the macaws to arrive.

Mid-morning, we will return to Tambopata Lodge. Navigating the Tambopata National Reserve offers the best opportunities to spot capybaras, tapirs, monkeys, and, with luck, jaguars. Upon arrival, you can relax in the hammocks or swim in the pool.

After lunch, we will take a short 1 km ethnobotanical walk to learn about plants and their integration into the ecosystem. We will discover medicinal plants and other uses given to them by native communities. We will be able to observe walking palm trees, sacred lupuna trees, and hollow trees inhabited by ants and other animals.

At dusk, we will reboard the boat for a nighttime search for caimans.

You will wake up to the beautiful jungle sunrise. After breakfast, you will have free time to enjoy the lodge and its surroundings until your transfer to Puerto Maldonado.

Depending on your flight departure time, you will return to the same starting point, where you can enjoy the hotel facilities in Puerto Maldonado, such as the pool, bar, and magnificent views, or take a stroll through town to buy souvenirs, as the main square is only one block away.
