Collpa Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick

For one of the best experiences with tropical birds in the Amazon, you need to visit the Macaw Clay

Lick Chuncho. Due to the nutrients, probably salt, found in the cliff floor, the collpa chuncho

attracts dozens of bird species. From enormous red and green macaws to parrots, birds flock to eat

nutrient-rich clay. The macaws are the largest - and loudest - of the bunch, leaving a lasting

impression on everyone who experiences this sonic spectacle.

The Macaw Clay Lick: Chuncho is one of the most impressive wild spectacles in the world, which

makes this activity an unmissable visit for travellers and families who love Nature. The humid jungle

air is filled with the screeches of the Macaws as they settle in the trees on the cliffs, swooping down

to feed on the clay. You couldn't ask for a more unique and satisfying experience in the Amazon

rainforest and the activity is a highlight for all of the Rainforest Expeditions guests.

The collpa chuncho macaw clay lick is recognized worldwide for its spectacularity and is considered

the largest in the Peruvian Amazon; some of the common species seen in these places are blue and

gold, scarlet, red and green macaw, also blue-headed parrots and parakeets. Monkeys, tapirs, deer,

and capybaras are also frequently seen

Why will you love the Macaw Clay Lick?

A Dazzling Show: Because Tambopata, Peru, is so well preserved and remote from human

intervention, it is one of the most biodiverse areas on the planet. In fact, around 20 different species

of tropical birds visit the collpa chuncho. If you are a fan of Macaws as well as playful parrots, the

show will enchant you.

Approach face-to-face with Nature: you can go to a place slightly hidden just opposite the Collpa

Clay. As a result, you can view these incredibly brilliant birds from a close view without disturbing

their pristine habitat. Although you can see a caged parrot or macaw at home, nothing compares to

seeing them free, wild, and magnificent in their true home.
