This is one of the unique places in the rainforest, as the name suggests, Monkey Island is home to 13 species of monkeys. Our local expert will be explaining to you about the life of different breeds of monkeys that inhabit here. 

We will then take the rowing boat and head to the part of the jungle where we will be doing a canopy walk. You will have a spectacular view of the entire rainforest from the tree top. Once you have had your fill of this activity, we will return to Tambopata ecolodge for dinner.

The last day of the Amazon Rainforest Experience. Early in the morning, we will be taking the motor boat to see the best of the Tambopata Eco Tours – Macaws Clay Lick. This is the world’s largest clay lick. 

Every morning, hundreds of Macaws and parrots flock in to eat the clay from the cliff. The clay is believed to contain salt that has nutritive value. This helps these birds to flush out the toxins from their body. 

After this, we will be returning to the lodge for breakfast. We will then pack our things and check out. On our way back to Puerto Maldonado, we will be stopping by a native island. Here our guide will be introducing the life and culture of native Amazonians.
