Amazon Expedition 2D: Macaw Clay Lick  Tambopata Chuncho .

Expedition Amazon -The Tambopata Natural Reserve is one of the few places in the world where you can find unique ecosystems, including lowland and foothill rainforests that connect to the breathtaking cloud forests at higher elevations. This corner of the world is a true paradise for nature and biodiversity enthusiasts.

Located in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, Tambopata was once one of the most remote areas, inhabited only by small indigenous communities and explorers.

Day 1: Puerto Maldonado to the Heart of the Amazon Rainforest

Your unforgettable Amazon adventure begins the moment we greet you at the bus terminal or Puerto Maldonado Airport, just 30 minutes before your scheduled arrival. After a warm welcome, we’ll transfer you to our main office for check-in, where you can securely store your heavy luggage and grab only the essentials for the journey ahead. With everything set, get ready to embark on the adventure of a lifetime—an expedition through the pristine Tambopata Amazon Rainforest .

Our journey kicks off with a scenic 50-minute ride in our comfortable, private transport to the main port of Tambopata.

From there, we board a motorized boat and cruise along the winding Tambopata River—where nature’s wonders come to life before your eyes. Keep your camera close, as this is a photographer’s dream. Along the river, you’ll spot a stunning array of wildlife, including exotic birds, playful capybaras, serene turtles, and—if you’re lucky—perhaps even a jaguar soaking up the sun on the riverbanks.

Upon arriving at our lodge, you’ll be greeted with a refreshing, typical Amazonian drink—a delicious and invigorating jungle aphrodisiac. After check-in, take some time to relax in your comfortable room before indulging in a delightful, locally-inspired lunch.

In the afternoon, prepare for an exhilarating nature walk through the primary forest. As you trek through this unspoiled jungle, you’ll encounter towering ancient trees, medicinal plants, and a colorful variety of insects, ants, butterflies, frogs, birds, and curious monkeys. The Amazon’s diverse wildlife and fascinating ecosystems will leave you in awe!

As the day transitions to night, we’ll embark on a thrilling nocturnal boat expedition.

This is your chance to witness the Amazon’s nightlife as we navigate the Tambopata River in search of caimans, nocturnal monkeys, and other mysterious creatures that roam the jungle after dark. With the sounds of the jungle around you, it’s sure to be an unforgettable experience. Afterward, we’ll return to the cozy comfort of our lodge for a well-deserved rest.

Day 2: A Final Adventure and Farewell to the Amazon

Prepare for another day of Amazonian wonders. We’ll start early, boarding our boat for an exciting journey upstream on the Tambopata River. As the sun rises, be on the lookout for the elusive jaguar—often referred to as the “king of the jungle”—or a giant anaconda lazily winding along the riverbanks of the Tambopata National Reserve.

It’s a truly magical moment that few get to witness.

Next, we’ll visit the famous Macaw Clay Lick (Collpa de Guacamayos), one of the Amazon’s most remarkable natural phenomena. Watch in awe as hundreds of colorful parrots, parakeets, and macaws swoop down to feast on the mineral-rich clay walls. This vibrant display of life is an incredible spectacle that will stay with you forever. Enjoy a peaceful breakfast as you take in this unforgettable show of nature’s beauty.

After this thrilling Amazon experience, we’ll return to the lodge for a delicious lunch before beginning our journey back to Puerto Maldonado.

Geographic Overview of the Rainforest Expedition: Exploring the Heart of the Amazon

Discover the unspoiled beauty of the Amazon rainforest through the Tambopata National Reserve and Bahuaja Sonene National Park. Learn how this biodiverse region supports conservation and eco-tourism in Peru and Bolivia.

 Amazon Rainforest Geography and Conservation Corridors

The Amazon rainforest is home to one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth, and nowhere is this more evident than in the southeastern jungles of Peru and Bolivia. This region encompasses the Tambopata National Reserve, Bahuaja Sonene National Park, and Bolivia’s Madidi National Park, forming a tri-national wilderness.

These reserves are key parts of the Vilcabamba-Amboro Conservation Corridor, an initiative by Conservation International that connects isolated forest ecosystems to allow free movement of wildlife. This corridor is crucial for genetic diversity, preventing species isolation and allowing for natural migration and breeding.

 Life Along the Rivers: Amazon Waterways and Biodiversity Hotspots

At the center of this ecological masterpiece flows the Tambopata River, lifeblood of the forest and its communities. Originating in the Andes, it courses through Tambopata and Bahuaja Sonene, supported by key tributaries like the Malinowski, Tavara, and La Torre rivers.

At its confluence with the Malinowski River, the Tambopata expands into a wide, sandy riverbed that transforms dramatically during the rainy season, creating temporary wetlands and spawning grounds for aquatic species.

To the southeast, the Heath River, a natural boundary between Peru and Bolivia, feeds into the Madre de Dios River—a major tributary of the Amazon. These rivers, known as white water rivers, are nutrient-rich and sediment-laden, contrasting with the black water rivers whose dark color stems from tannins and organic material.

Why This Region Matters for Global Conservation

This interconnected river network doesn’t just support eco-tourism and indigenous communities—it serves as a climate buffer, a carbon sink, and a refuge for thousands of plant and animal species, many of them endemic or endangered.

From jaguars and giant river otters to harpy eagles and macaws, the rainforest teems with life that depends on undisturbed forest corridors. This is what makes the conservation work in Tambopata and Bahuaja Sonene not only local, but global in importance.

A Climate of Extremes: Wet and Dry Seasons in the Tambopata Rainforest

Explore the dramatic seasonal changes of the Amazon rainforest in Peru’s Tambopata region. Discover how wet and dry seasons shape wildlife, landscapes, and eco-tourism.

Seasonal Rhythms of the Amazon Rainforest

The Tambopata National Reserve and Bahuaja Sonene National Park experience two sharply contrasting seasons that define life in this vibrant part of the Amazon Basin.

 Wet Season (November–April)
During the wet season, the rainforest comes alive in powerful and sometimes chaotic ways. Heavy tropical rains flood the Tambopata and Madre de Dios rivers, turning trails into waterways and the forest floor into a swampy, shifting world. Thunderstorms roll through the canopy, reshaping the landscape as river currents uproot trees and redistribute sediment.

This period is crucial for many aquatic species and migratory birds, who rely on the expanded waterways and seasonal food sources. For adventurous travelers, it’s a chance to witness the Amazon at its wildest.

 Dry Season (May–October)
The dry season brings more predictable weather, but temperatures soar—especially in September and October, when daytime highs can reach 38°C (100°F). Early mornings often feature thick fog rising from the rivers, creating a mystical jungle atmosphere.

Unique to this season are the cold fronts (called friajes) that descend from the Antarctic, especially in June and July, briefly dropping temperatures to 10°C (50°F). These unexpected chills offer a rare break from the otherwise tropical climate.

 A Refuge for Rare Wildlife and Global Conservation

The Tambopata-Bahuaja Sonene protected region is more than a pristine landscape—it’s a vital sanctuary for some of the Amazon’s most iconic and endangered wildlife. Here, you may encounter:

•  Jaguars stalking through dense undergrowth
•  Scarlet macaws nesting in towering rainforest trees
•  Giant river otters playing along secluded riverbanks

These species rely on intact rainforest corridors and healthy river systems, which are safeguarded by the Vilcabamba-Amboro Corridor. This international conservation effort allows species migration, reduces isolation, and promotes long-term biodiversity.

Tambopata’s preservation is crucial not only for Peru and Bolivia but for the entire planet. Its rainforest serves as a carbon sink, helps regulate climate, and provides insights into sustainable eco-tourism and indigenous resilience.
