Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick The Collpa Chuncho is located in the Madre de Dios region, in the Tambopata National Reserve (High Tambopata Sector), which stands out for its scenic appeal, and for having the largest clay lick in Peru. The Collpa Chuncho (clay wall on the river bank known as "Collpa"), is the place where many species of parakeets, parrots, macaws and other species go to eat the clay that is rich in minerals and salts that these birds use as supplements to their diet of seeds and fruits.

 

We have designed this jungle tour of the Tambopata National Reserve in Peru, to offer you a broad view of life in nature, where you will have the opportunity to observe flora, fauna, culture and indigenous traditions. To enhance your Amazon experience in the Tambopata National Reserve, we will use eco-lodges, located in the middle of the tropical rainforest. Our Adventure in Tambopata will take you through the tropical rainforest, where we can take dips in the rivers and observe lots of wildlife; as well as do night activities in the virgin areas of the Tambopata National Reserve.
