DAY 2: VISIT TO CHUNCHO MACAW, JUNGLE WALK, RETURN TO PUERTO MALDONADO.
We got up very early to head out to the chuncho macaw clay lick . Clay licks are exposed areas where birds and mammals come to eat clay rich in minerals. Chuncho is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular clay licks in the Amazon, located on the cliffs within the reserved area. It is visited by 3 species of macaws such as: Red and green macaws (Ara chloropterus),blue and yellow macaws (Ara ararauna ), and scarlet macaw (Ara
macaw).
To get there we take a trip of approximately 30 minutes. By river in our motorized boat, on the way we will have an incredible opportunity to see wildlife; as well as the imposing jaguar ( Panthera Onca ), families of ronsocos ( Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris ) that swim and cool off on the banks of the river, to the black caiman ( Melanosuchus niger ) and sometimes the howler monkey that comes down to the banks to drink water. Once we arrive at the collpa , we will settle in a suitable place for breakfast and enjoy the most beautiful natural spectacle of the birdlife that brings together hundreds of macaws, parrots and parakeets that interact and socialize while eating the clay from the cliffs. We will wait for the arrival of these magnificent birds, they can appear in pairs or families from different sites in the forest.
Before our lunch, you will enter the vastness of the Amazon rainforest with your guide. This is the perfect excursion for the adventurer and unconditional lover of nature. Crossing through a variety of ecosystems and an endless network of trails, this hike will last about 1 hour and a half and you will be able to connect with the wildlife of the flora and fauna. Along the way you will be able to observe “highways” of the peaceful leaf-cutting ants. Due to their years of local experience, our local guides will teach you everything about the Amazon rainforest. On the tour you will see the smallest bird hidden in the canopy of the giant trees, the most elusive monkey and the most spectacular plant life. We return to our lodge for lunch.
