Tambopata Birding Peru Trips 5 days

For avid bird enthusiasts,  ambopata Birding Peru Trips is an unparalleled haven nestled in the southeastern expanse of Peru. This region boasts Collpas, which stand as vital bastions for both conservation efforts and bird-centric tourism. Pioneering studies undertaken by the Guacamayo de Tambopata Project have unveiled the remarkable significance of this southeastern Peruvian territory. The area is teeming with an abundant array of avian and mammalian clay licks, boasting an impressive diversity of bird licks unparalleled in South America, and quite possibly, the entire world (Brightsmith et al., 2009; Lee et al., 2009).

These collpas are more than just natural marvels; they are sanctuaries visited by a myriad of majestic creatures. Macaws, parrots, tapirs, monkeys (Alouatta and Ateles), huanganas, sajinos, and deer, among others, gather here with a shared enthusiasm for consuming earth – a supplement to their diets that fuels their vitality (Kyle 2001, Brightsmith et al., 2009). Amidst this vibrant gathering, even apex predators such as big cats make their presence felt as they endeavor to secure their next meal. The allure of these collpas extends beyond the bounds of the animal kingdom; they serve as captivating attractions for tourists, showcasing the region’s unique biodiversity. Simultaneously, these creatures constitute indispensable sources of animal protein for the local population (Redford 1992).
