Macaw Clay Lick: A Natural Spectacle of Colors and Sounds
The tour begins at dawn, when the first light illuminates the Macaw Clay Lick, a clay cliff where hundreds of macaws, parrots, and parakeets congregate. This natural phenomenon, unique in the world, offers one of the best opportunities to see birds in the Peruvian Amazon in their wildest environment.

Macaws feed on the mineral-rich mud to neutralize toxins in their diet. Observing this behavior, guided by expert naturalists, is not only a dazzling visual experience but also a living lesson in the ecological balance of the tropical forest.
