| | PERU Tambopata ,short jungle expedition II(6 Days) by Tropical American Adventure. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | We will arrive at Tambopata Research Center in the late morning, being greeted by the Chicos, our flock of semi-wild, rescued macaws. |
 | | It begins with a description of the daily spectacle at the clay lick:" When the morning sun clears the Amazon tree line in southeastern Peru and strikes a gray-pink clay bank on the upper Tambopata River, one of the world's most dazzling wildlife gatherings is nearing its riotous peak. |
 | | The teep bank has become a pulsing, 130-foot-high palette of red, blue, yellow and green as more than a thousand parrots squabble over choice perches to grab a beak full of clay, a vital but mysterious part of their diet. |
