DAY 01.- TAMBOPATA LODGE

We pick you up from Puerto Maldonado airport to then take you for 01 hour car to Tambopata River, where a motor boat will be waiting for us to then navigate the river for 15 minutes to finally arrive to our Lodge for the following days. Once at the lodge we go out for a nice introductory walk, where we have the chance to learn about jungle and at the same time to look for animals. This walk activity will take you not less than 02 hours, so this is a good chance for learning and animal spotting. At the end of the hike, we will climb the highest Canopy tower. A great place to see the amazon basin and be on the lookout for some pretty birds, White-throated Toucan, Curl-crested Aracari, Scarlet & Blue and Yellow Macaw among many more birds. You may wish to extend to witness the sunset.

We wake up very  early, at 4:30, to leave at 5:00 a.m. our destination, the world’s largest Macaw clay lick, a trip of approximately 35 minutes boat trip, on the way we will have the incredible opportunity to see Capybaras, which are the largest rodents in the world, tapirs,  and you can even see the South American feline, the Jaguar, many of our customers (35%) have seen this beautiful cat  and they have photographic evidence of these encounters with these  mammals.

Once arrived to the Macaw clay lick we will have a chance to see hundreds of parrots of different species who come to eat clay on the wall adjacent to the River. We will accommodate us in our chairs to wait to begin one of the most beautiful natural shows of the birds in the world. Species of large macaws the most colorful of America, Red and Green, Blue and Yellow and the Scarlet’s Macaws gather to eat clay needed in their daily diet to eliminate toxins. Parrots such as the Blue headed, Orange cheeked Parrot, White-eyed, Dusky-headed Parakeet, among others come every day to same place for  the same purpose.
