After reaching the lodge, spend some time relaxing and having the welcome lunch before setting aside a few minutes and going out for a short nature walk. Nightfall brings the possibility of a nocturnal nature walk which displays the rainforest’s other face when animals like tarantulas, tree frogs, and insects which one is rarely able to spot during the day.
Day 2: Sandoval Lake and the Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick
This, in essence, is the core of the Sandoval Lake Tambopata 3 day’s programme.

Later on, the team will go to Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick where huge numbers of macaws and parrots flock to consume clay which is high in minerals. At the macaw clay lick it’s an amazing spectacle to watch so many different species of vibrant birds, Mostly when the brilliant plumage contrasts sharply with the surrounding rainforest, any naturalist or wildlife photographer will consider it one of the best experiences.
Day 3: Final Wildlife Encounters and Departure
Last-minute fun? One more walk along the trail or a view from the treetops before breakfast can make your morning memorable and you can still enjoy nature a little.
