For years after returning from the Mamori Sound Project in the Brazilian Amazon I dreamt of the rainforest. I mean this quite literally. It is of course a cliché to say the experience changed my life, but there it is.

14 years later I made it back to the South American jungles, this time with children. A trip to the Tambopata National Reserve in Perú was added as an opportune addendum to a visit with family in Lima.

The Peruvian rainforest on the Tambopata River is different than the area surrounding Mamori Lake in Brazil. Tambopata is famous for its clay licks that attract enormous flocks of various parrot species. It seems salt is in short supply so far inland.

Collpa Colorado (Colorado Clay Lick) is just up river from the Tambopata Research Center. Though the shifting river has opened up new more popular sites further to the south, Collpa Colorado still puts on an amazing show.
