Cusco to Tambopata Peru Tour Details
Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick
Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick in Tambopata National Park is one of the most popular sights.
It is the largest clay lick in the world. This offers visitors an opportunity to spot various species of macaws, parrots, and parakeets. On our Cusco to Tambopata Peru Tour, you will be able to spot all eight species of macaws, including Scarlet Macaws.
Tambopata National Reserve is home to over 1500 species of butterflies and over 650 varieties of birds. Tambopata Macaw Clay lick or Chuncho Macaw clay lick is a lifetime experience to most.

Every day, at daybreak, hundreds of brightly colored macaws, parrots, and parakeets fly to eat the clay from the cliff. The clay here contains distinct minerals which help them to flush out the toxins from their bodies.
We have designed the three days tour to offer you the most. With our local expert, you will learn about the life of the Ese Ejas. They are the native community that has been living here for decades.
You will also be familiarised with the life of different birds, animals, and plants.
