Highlights of Your Tambopata Adventure

1) Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick (A World-Class Wildlife Spectacle)

The Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick is one of the most impressive birdwatching experiences in the Peruvian Amazon. At sunrise, hundreds of macaws and parrots gather on the clay wall—often including Scarlet Macaws, Red-and-green Macaws, and Blue-and-gold Macaws. This natural event offers exceptional opportunities for wildlife observation and photography when approached responsibly.


2) Tambopata River Safari (Wildlife Viewing on the Move)

Traveling by boat along the Tambopata River is an experience in itself. The river acts as a wildlife corridor, offering frequent chances to spot animals along the banks and in the water. Keep an eye out for capybarasblack caimans, and a wide variety of Amazon birdlife throughout the journey.


3) Rainforest Canopy Tower (Panoramic Jungle Views)

This tour includes a visit to a rainforest canopy tower at Collpas Inn Lodge, providing elevated views over the jungle. From the platform, you can observe the canopy ecosystem—where many Amazon species are most active—and enjoy a unique perspective for birdwatching and landscape photography.
