DAY 2:

Macaw Clay Lick
At a 30 minute boat ride and 30 minutes walk form port, through palm plantations to a cut-off channel of the river, where we find the blind at Blanquillo Macaw Lick, this is truly one of the world’s great wildlife spectacles when we can spot as hundreds of brightly colored Macaws, parrots and parakeets, Red and Green Macaw (Ara chloropterus), Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao), Blue and Yelow Macaw (Ara ararauna), Blue headed parrot (Pionus menstruus), Orange ckeeked parrot (Pionopsitta barrabandi), Dusky headed parakeet (Aratinga weddellii ) and other species of birds and mammals, they come down on the most clear days to ingest the clay on a bank. We'll use a comfortable blind (hide) to get close to the birds and breakfast will be served. The noise alone is incredible and the sight of these brightly colored birds at the lick is a sight not to be forgotten.

Lunch

 

Canopy Tower
After a twenty minute walk from the lodge, we’ll reach the canopy tower, from which top we’ll get an incredible view of the Rainforest canopy layer, increasing our horizon of the continuous primary forest extending out towards the area. We’ll go looking for macaws, parrots, toucans, and canopy mixed species, canopy flocks and the rich vegetation in the tree-top thrown bromeliads, orchids and other species.

 

Mammals-Tapir Clay Lick

Those who wish will return with the guide to the lodge in the late afternoon; however there is an opportunity to stay at the lick after dark until midnight to see what nocturnal creatures come to the lick. Tapirs, the largest South American land mammal are frequent visitors with up to 12 animals visiting in one night Other nocturnal creatures are always possible.

Later we set off along the collpa trail, which will take us to the lodge’s famous Tapir Claylick. Here at the most active tapir lick known in all the Amazon, our research has identified from 8-12 individual 600-pound Tapirs who come to this lick to eat clay from under the tree roots around the edge. This unlikely snack absorbs and neutralizes toxins in the vegetarian diet of the Tapir, the largest land animal of Latin America. The lick features a roomy, elevated observation platform 5m/17ft above the forest floor.  The platform is equipped with freshly-made-up mattresses with pillows. Each mattress is covered by a roomy mosquito net.  The 50-m-long, elevated walkway to the platform is covered with sound-absorbing padding to prevent our footsteps from making noise. This tapir experience is unique and exciting because these normally very shy creatures are visible up close, and flash photography is not just permitted, but encouraged.
