A half-hour walk from the hostel takes us to the 50-meter-high observation tower, a staircase with railings will provide us with safe access to the top of the tower, from which we can contemplate the impressive forest of the National Reserve of Tambopata. From above it is also possible to observe different species of birds such as toucans, macaws, raptors among other species.
At night we will have a boat ride along the Tambopata River observing the black and white caimans, during which the guide will explain the method of reproduction and feeding of said reptile.
DAY 2 Lodge / Macaw Clay Lick Chuncho / Night Walk
In the Amazon we take advantage of the first lights of the day, which is when there is the greatest wildlife activity. Even if you are on vacation, our guides will encourage you to get up very early to undertake the adventure.
We are the closest hostel to the famous Tambopata Clay Lick, which will take us 1 hour to reach this wonderful place where it is visited by different species of macaws, parrots and parakeets. The guide will help us identify the species seen in the river and in the clay lick with the use of binoculars and telescope. Great opportunity to observe one of the most impressive spectacles of nature.
For one of the best tropical bird experiences in the Amazon, you need to visit the Macaw Clay Lick: Chuncho. Because of the nutrients, probably salt, found in the cliff floor, birds flock to eat nutrient-rich clay. The macaws are the largest – and loudest – of the group, leaving a lasting impression on all who experience this sonic spectacle.
Returning to the lodge we have a 40% opportunity to observe the king of the Peruvian Amazon (the jaguar). These felines are usually on the banks of the Tambopata River. Before lunch we have kayaking on the Tambopata River, it is another perspective of seeing nature from another point of view, paddled with the current in our favor.
DAY 3 Lodge / Macaw Clay Lick Chuncho / Puerto Maldonado
You can walk inside the Tambopata national reserve where we will arrive at; Lake Quiroz, in search of wildlife like the Shansho, which is said to be a prehistoric bird and very good for asthma. Alligators, kingfishers among other species, if we are lucky we will be able to observe a family of otters that live in its waters and are difficult to see. You will be able to discover the difference in the ecosystem of a lake and a river and who knows, maybe you will be rewarded with macaws flying above the treetops. After lunch we prepare to return to Puerto Maldonado and from there to the airport if you have the last one, either the night bus or spend a night in a hotel in Puerto Maldonado.
