Itinerary:Wildlife Nature – Clay Lick 3 days

A Three-Day Amazon Adventure Join us to witness the Amazon’s raw beauty, culminating at the iconic Clay Lick—a magnet for macaws, parrots, and other exotic species. Every step of this journey offers unforgettable experiences, making it perfect for adventurers and nature lovers alike.

Day 1: Puerto Maldonado, Tambopata River Cruise, and Jungle Hike

Welcome to Puerto Maldonado and Transfer to the Boat Departure Point

Your adventure begins with your arrival in Puerto Maldonado, the gateway to many nature destinations in the Peruvian Amazon. Our team will coordinate your pickup at the airport or bus terminal according to the details confirmed in your reservation.

After the welcome, we will head to the departure point to continue the journey by boat along the Tambopata River.

Tambopata River Cruise : During the river journey, you will enjoy views of tropical rainforest landscapes, riverside vegetation, and birds that frequent the riverbanks. With a keen eye and a little luck, you may also spot capybaras, spectacled caimans, and other animals native to the region.

Sightings of large mammals, such as jaguars, are not guaranteed. However, the river cruise offers an excellent first opportunity to appreciate the ecosystems that make Tambopata a renowned destination for nature tourism.

Arrival at the Lodge and Lunch : Upon arrival at the lodge, you will have time to settle in, relax, and enjoy your scheduled meal. The lodge’s natural surroundings will allow you to begin familiarizing yourself with the sounds and landscapes of the rainforest.
Interpretive Walk Through the Amazon Rainforest : In the afternoon, we will explore the forest trails accompanied by a guide. During the walk, you will discover tropical trees, ecologically important plants, butterflies, birds, and other organisms that contribute to the balance of the rainforest.

In addition to observing biodiversity, you will learn how different species interact and why protecting their habitats is essential.

Night Excursion to Discover Amazonian Wildlife :After dinner, we will take part in the nighttime activity included in the program. Depending on conditions and the lodge’s logistics, the excursion may involve a boat ride or a guided walk with flashlights.

Darkness reveals another side of the Amazon: frogs, insects, nocturnal birds, and other animals that often remain hidden during the day.

This first day combines river navigation, rainforest exploration, and an introduction to Tambopata’s wildlife.

Day 2: Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick and Exploration of Lake Sandoval

Visit to the Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick

We will start early to take advantage of the first hours of the day, when many birds are active.

The Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick is known for the macaws, parrots, and parakeets that may gather on its clay banks. These birds consume mineral-rich soil, and their presence and activity vary depending on environmental conditions.

Observing this natural behavior is an opportunity to learn about the ecology of Amazonian birds while enjoying their vibrant colors, calls, and movements.

Remember to bring your binoculars and a camera if you would like to photograph wildlife from a respectful distance.

Journey to the Lake Sandoval Area : After the morning activity and the meals scheduled in the program, we will continue toward the Lake Sandoval access area, following the route confirmed by the tour operator.

The journey combines river transportation and a walk through the forest until we reach the accommodation or the starting point of the excursion.

Lake Sandoval is part of Tambopata National Reserve and is renowned for its aquatic environments, seasonally flooded forests, and diverse wildlife.

Canoe Ride on Lake Sandoval : Once we reach the lake, we will explore its calm waters by canoe, taking in the scenery and looking for animals among the vegetation.

During the excursion, you may encounter aquatic birds, monkeys, and other species that frequent the shoreline. With luck and patience, you may also spot signs of giant river otters, one of the iconic species of Amazonian aquatic environments.

This experience offers an opportunity to appreciate the palm trees, the forest surrounding the lake, and the close relationship between the rainforest and aquatic ecosystems.

Night Walk to Discover the Rainforest’s Smaller Inhabitants : As night falls, a guided walk with flashlights will allow you to look for frogs, insects, spiders, and other nocturnal animals.

With your guide’s help, you will learn to recognize animal sounds and signs of activity, as well as the adaptations that allow many species to thrive in darkness.

This activity offers a different perspective on Amazonian biodiversity and complements the wildlife observations made during the day.

Day 3: Lake Sandoval, Wildlife Watching, and Return to Puerto Maldonado

Birdwatching at the Palm Clay Lick

The day will begin early with a birdwatching excursion to designated areas of the lake and its surroundings.

Palm clay licks may attract different species of parrots and macaws that feed on fruits and other available natural resources. Activity depends on environmental conditions and does not always occur with the same intensity.

During the observation, you will have the opportunity to appreciate the variety of shapes, colors, and behaviors of Amazonian birds.

Looking for Giant River Otters : After breakfast, we will continue exploring the Lake Sandoval area in search of signs of giant river otters.

This species is an iconic aquatic mammal of the Amazon and is classified globally as Endangered. Observing these animals requires patience, maintaining a respectful distance, and taking special care to protect their habitat.

Although an encounter cannot be guaranteed, learning about their behavior and their role in aquatic ecosystems is a valuable part of the experience.

Exploring Giant Trees and Learning About the Rainforest : The hike will also introduce you to large trees, tropical plants, and the different layers of rainforest vegetation.

Through your guide’s explanations, you will discover how the forest provides food and shelter for numerous species, how plants interact with animals, and why conserving these environments is essential for ecological balance.

Where appropriate, you may also learn about the traditional uses of certain plants, distinguishing cultural knowledge from recommendations for medicinal use.

Lunch and Return to Puerto Maldonado : After the scheduled activities, we will enjoy lunch and begin the return journey by boat and using the transportation arrangements specified in the itinerary.

Upon arrival in Puerto Maldonado, your three-day experience exploring the landscapes, wildlife, and natural richness of the Peruvian Amazon will come to an end.

Wild Center – Tambopata Sandoval 3 days

Macaw Behavior Summary: The big-headed macaw (Ara chloropterus) is one of the most common parrot species found near salt flats on the banks of rivers (or licks) in southeastern Peru.

Although common in captivity, there is little information on social interactions in the wild. Licks are ideal sites for monitoring the behavior of wild birds, even the presence of the lick itself can have an impact on behavior. We monitored macaws around two licks in the Amazon rainforest.

Macaw behavior was significantly different between birds in trees and birds at the same lick.

The bird’s position in the vegetation around the lick can also impact its behavior, with higher-altitude birds observed more preening and preening partners. Aggression is elevated both in the proximity of the lick and in the lick itself, but the macaws tolerate the presence of neighbors with signs of submission. Whether aggression is a characteristic of individuals or whether interactions serve as a way to sustain their

position of power within the community is unclear. Insects bother scarlet macaws more around their nests than macaws around the lick. Playing, preening, and aggression are observed more around the lick than the nests.
