TAMBOPATA NATIONAL RESERVE MACAW CLAY LICK (COLLPA CHUNCHO) 2 DAYS and 1 NIGHT
Enjoy the Tambopata National Reserve for 2 days in the Amazon jungle. Tambopata has great environmental diversity, beautiful lagoons, the Macaw Clay Lick (Macaw Colpa) This reserve is one of the largest natural clay licks in the country with one of the highlights of Peru's wildlife. Thousands of brightly colored macaws and parrots arrive daily at the cliffs to feed on the mineral salts. Ecologists say that TRZ's great diversity of fauna is due to its location at the confluence of the Amazonian lowland jungle with three other ecosystems. There are at least 13 endangered species here, including the jaguar, giant otter, ocelot, harpy eagle, and giant armadillo.
