Begin the day with breakfast before the day’s activities.

Parrot Clay Lick
A fifteen minute boat ride, and sixty minute walk from Refugio Amazonas, there is a clay lick used by both parrots and parakeets. We will be able to see parrots and parakeets descend into most clear of days to take in the clay on a bank. With any luck, we will also see some, or all of the following species in the early morning: Mealy and yellow-crowned amazons (parrots), blue-headed pionus, severe macaw and orange-cheeked (Barraband’s) parrots. We will visit the lick at dawn, when parrots are most active or in mid-morning or early afternoon, when they are active. We will enjoy lunch after this.

Brazil Nut Trail and Camp
A few minutes hike from the lodge is a beautiful, old brazilian nut forest that has been harvested for decades (if not centuries). Here, the precarious remains of a camp that is used two months in a year by brazilian nut gatherers can be visited. We will see the whole production process of the rain forest’s only sustainable harvested product; from collection through drying to transportation.

Mammal Clay Lick
Twenty minutes walking from Refugio Amazonas is a peccary clay lick. There are wild rain forest pigs that show up here in herds of five to twenty to eat clay in the late morning. Chances of spotting them are around 15%, but it is well worth the short hike. Other wildlife also shows up including deer, guan and parakeets. We will then enjoy dinner.
