Tour Details

Tambopata Clay Lick or Chuncho Clay Lick tour of three days offers the best experience of the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest. This is the world’s largest clay lick. 

Tambopata, the name originates from Tambopata river which flows from Lake Titicaca down to the Amazon Rainforest. Tambopata National Reserve is rich in biodiversity. It is home to 650 species of birds and 1500 species of butterflies. 

Tambopata Macaw Clay Lick attracts different species of Macaws namely scarlet macaw, green macaws. Also brightly coloured parrots and parakeets flock in to eat the clay. The clay contains distinct minerals that helps them to flush out toxins from their bodies.

On your three days tour to Tambopata National Park, you will also get an insight to the life of the people living here. Ese Eja, a group of native communities has been living here for generations. 

To enhance the life of Ese Ejas, we offer them opportunities to lead the group and work with us in different areas of tourism in Tambopata. All our guides are born and raised in Tambopata and have extensive knowledge about the flora and fauna found here.

This was well worth getting up at 5am. Not only do you get to see an awesome sunrise, to see these beautiful birds in the Wild was truly unforgettable. We had to wait a while for the macaws to arrive, just watching and listening to all the other wildlife was fabulous. We where here with a group of pupils from Scotland at the end of June. Not the hight of the season and not as many Macaws but still a trip not to miss.
Do expect a long wait and to sit quietly. Some of the pupils found this difficult.
