Multiday Macaw Clay Licks: 4-Day Jungle Adventure in Tambopata

Day 1: Puerto Maldonado to Tambopata Lodge Inn – Research Center

We’ll travel by private vehicle for approximately 2 hours to the Tambopata River port. From there, board our motorized boat and cruise along the Tambopata River, watching for turtles, birds, capybaras, white caimans, and if we’re lucky, the elusive jaguar basking on the riverbanks.

Upon arrival at Tambopata Lodge Inn, enjoy a traditional Amazonian refreshment, settle into your room, and have lunch.

In the afternoon, take a guided walk through primary rainforest, home to towering millennial trees, and a rich variety of insects, spiders, toads, butterflies, monkeys, and other rainforest wildlife.

After dinner, embark on a night boat ride to observe nocturnal creatures such as caimans, capybaras, night monkeys,

and potentially nocturnal predators. Return to your comfortable lodge room for a peaceful night’s rest.

Day 2:  Multiday Macaw Clay Licks  Chuncho & Amazon Trail Exploration

Wake up early (5:00 AM) for a spectacular sunrise boat ride up the Tambopata River to visit the Chuncho Macaw

Clay Lick in Tambopata National Reserve. This site offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness hundreds of

colorful macaws and parrots gathering to eat the mineral-rich clay—an awe-inspiring display of sound and color.

Enjoy breakfast while observing this natural spectacle.

On our way back to the lodge, stop at the Tambopata Control Point to learn more about the ecosystem and the significance of the clay lick.

We’ll also visit a local biodiversity museum, where you’ll gain insight into the Tambopata-Candamo Reserve and its unique flora and fauna.

After lunch and some rest, explore the Amazon jungle trails once more with your guide, discovering medicinal plants and spotting birds, monkeys, and maybe larger mammals.

End the day with dinner and a night walk, listening to jungle sounds and spotting creatures like tarantulas, frogs, insects, snakes, and more. Tour  Amazon peru 

Day 3: Fishing, Kayaking & Jungle Hike in Tambopata

After breakfast, we’ll travel by boat for about 40 minutes downstream for a morning fishing experience. Try your hand at catching pacu, sabalo, catfish, and even piranhas in the calm streams along the river.

Return to the lodge for lunch and some relaxation.

In the afternoon, enjoy kayaking on the Tambopata River or a nearby stream—a peaceful and immersive way to

connect with the jungle. Guests often describe this as one of the most enjoyable and calming experiences of the trip.

After dinner, participate in another night excursion, where our guide will explain the behavior of nocturnal predators and other elusive creatures that hunt at night.

Day 4: Mammal Clay Lick Visit & Return to Puerto Maldonado

Begin the day with breakfast and a visit to the Mammal Clay Lick, where you may spot howler monkeys, deer, peccaries, wild boars, and a variety of birds.

These animals visit the lick to consume mineral-rich clay, which helps them detoxify their diet.

Your guide will explain the ecological significance of this behavior and point out tracks and signs of recent visitors.

After the tour, return to the lodge for packing and farewell. We’ll then travel by boat and private car back to Puerto Maldonado, with drop-off at the airport or bus station.
