Tambopata National Reserve & Macaw Clay Lick Expeditions
Peru’s Rainforest Capital of Megadiversity & Oxbow Lakes
The World’s Largest Macaw Clay Licks & Majestic Lake Sandoval
Located in the department of Madre de Dios and easily accessible via Puerto Maldonado, the Tambopata National Reserve encompasses 274,690 hectares of pristine sub-tropical moist rainforest renowned for holding world records in butterfly, bird, and tree biodiversity.
Witness the natural spectacle of the Chuncho and Colorado Macaw Clay Licks, where hundreds of Red-and-green, Scarlet, and Blue-and-gold Macaws, together with parrots and parakeets, congregate in a dazzling explosion of sound and color at sunrise. Paddle across the mirror-like waters of Lake Sandoval, a protected oxbow lake surrounded by Mauritia palm swamps that shelter resident families of Giant Otters, Red Howler monkeys, and Black Caimans up to 4 meters long.
Our comfortable eco-lodges offer suspended canopy walkways, tower viewpoints over the forest roof, ethnobotanical medicinal plant walks, and night safaris to discover bioluminescent fungi, tree frogs, and tarantulas. An exceptional rainforest experience with seamless logistics and unmatched wildlife encounters.
