Day 10: Tambopata
We'll stop at the Chuncho clay lick two hours from Refugio Amazonas, deep in the Tambopata National Reserve. After a short stroll (5 minutes), we will have the opportunity to view dozens of huge macaws grazing on the riverbank's peculiar sodium rich clays.
The Chuncho clay lick certainly attracts the hugest macaws in the world, and the sight of dozens of macaws taking wing is simply amazing. The specifics of our stopover will be determined by the weather and the level of macaw activity, as the birds do not visit the clay lick when it rains.
After lunch and a short stroll from the resort, there is a stunning old growth stretch of Brazil Nut forest that has been harvested for decades (if not centuries) and where the unstable ruins of a camp used by Brazil Nut gatherers can still be seen. We will demonstrate the entire process of the rain forest's only sustainably harvested product, from collecting to transportation to drying.
A peccary clay lick is about 20 minutes' walk from Refugio Amazonas. These wild rain forest pigs appear in herds of five to twenty animals in the late morning to eat clay. The chances of seeing them are just about 15%, but the short trip is well worth it. Deer, guan, and parakeets are among the other animals that appear. After dinner, you will have the option of hiking out at night, when most of the mammals are active but difficult to observe. Frogs with odd shapes and sounds are easier to find.
