Surrounded by wildlife, we wake to the sound of howler monkeys, observe exotic birds flying overhead, and enjoy the fresh air that fills our lungs.

The Chuncho Macaw Lick is where we observe a most amazing and unique wildlife spectacle: hundreds of parrots and macaws gather to eat clay from the cliffs. (Parrots and other birds routinely eat clay and gravel to help them digest their food). This experience is the one that most amazes visitors to Tambopata National Park.
