Description
Venture further into the Peruvian Amazon! Travel first to the Refugio Amazonas Lodge, just outside the Tambopata National Reserve. Canoe around a nearby lake to look for wildlife like giant otters and hoatzin, before heading deeper into the jungle and the Tambopata Research Centre. Far from human habitation, the centre is unrivalled in its access to pristine Amazonian forests, including one of the world's most dazzling wildlife gatherings: the world's largest macaw clay lick! Six days gives you extra time to spot toucans, and enjoy the pristine wilderness at leisure.

I had a great stay here. The Macaw Clay Lick was as amazing as the books say, with hundreds of parrots flying around. The rest of the wildlife was also quite beautiful, with six different monkey species, peccaries, lizards, caymans, snakes, frogs and all kinds of colorful insects. Plus the lodges are very comfortable for somewhere out in the wild, with excellent meals everyday.
