Once we arrived to the Macaw clay lick we will see hundreds of colorful parrots and macaws flying around this special spot that give them salts and minerals to minimize the amount of alkaloids ingested during a normal feeding day, on this activity you can see hundreds of these wonderful birds that go to this place to socialize and eat the clay, all this natural show is done mainly in the morning the reason why the early start.
