Day 2. Manu (BLD)
Early start for
the Macaw Clay Lick. A truly great wildlife spectacle as hundreds of
Parrots and Macaws congregate to eat the mineral rich clay that is
essential to their digestion. A floating blind is used to get close to the
birds. The noise alone is incredible and the sight of these brightly
coloured birds at the lick is a sight not to be forgotten. Later, head for Cocha Blanco,
in search of a family of Giant Otters and canoe around the
lake. After lunch at the
lodge, an exploration of other trails in search of Emperor and Saddleback
Tamarin monkeys, and perhaps the rare Goeldi's Monkey. Night at the Manu

that perform their strange mating dances. Opportunity for a walk to a
blind, lying close to a large mammal lick where Guans, Parakeets and
groups of Black Spider Monkeys visit on occasions. Tapirs, the largest South American
land mammal are frequent visitors with up to 12 animals visiting in one
night. Night at the Manu Wildlife Centre.
