All tours with Amazon Trips Peru are led by local experts, supplying you with education and keeping you safe at all times in wild areas.

Chuncho Clay Lick Sandoval Lake: A Colorful Spectacle

You might think the Amazon couldn’t get any more impressive, but the Chuncho Clay Lick at Sandoval Lake proves that it still can. Located along the Tambopata River, this clay lick is one of the biggest in the world. Dozens of red-and-green, scarlet and blue-and-yellow macaws join

numerous parrots daily at the Chuncho Clay Lick, coming to eat the mineral-enriched clay.

It is both interesting and important for birds to thrive and survive. Their diet of mostly fruit makes them need the minerals supplied by the clay. Seeing these birds make their descent all at once is a wonderful sight. With their loud chatter, busy flight and colorful plumage, macaws make an intense experience that people remember. Both photographers and bird enthusiasts find the Chuncho Clay Lick Sandoval Lake a wonderful place.
