Parrot clay lick

Early in the morning the boat takes you to a nearby clay lick for parrots and the rare blue-headed macaw. 

There are many theories as to why parrots eat clay. However, in the past few years, research has shown that they eat clay for the sodium in it. Whatever the reason may be, a group of colourful parrots descending through the air to the clay lick is an unforgettable sight to be seen. From a blind you may see parrots and parakeets to ingest the clay on a bank.

From there we visit one of the higher trails of the Pantiacolla Mountains with it’s ‘Oil’ stream with small hot springs, oil wells and natural swimming pools.
