The macaw clay lick is a clay formation by the action of the river and is located in the ravine of the rivers. Every morning at dawn the macaws, among other birds, go to this place to eat for 30 minutes approx. The reason why these birds consume clay is because according to researchers say that it contains vital salts and minerals used in the diet of animals who consume. This excursion is for everyone without exception, where you can experience the thrill of feeling and hearing the beauty of the charm of nature, in the course of your stay you will appreciate the wildlife and plenty of vegetation.

Once we arrive at the Macaw Clay Lick we will see hundreds of parrots of different species that come to eat clay from the wall adjacent to the river. We will settle into our chairs to wait for one of the most beautiful natural spectacles of birdlife in the world to begin. The parrots are followed by the 3 most colorful species of macaws in the Americas, the red and green, plus the blue and yellow macaws come together to eat clay needed in their daily diet and eliminate toxins.
