Day 3
Manu Wildlife Lodge - Parrot Lick - Cusco
We set off very early to visit the parrot lick, which is located ten minutes downstream from the lodge. The activity starts at around 5:30 am with the blue-headed and yellow-headed parrots.
There are also blue-headed and chestnut-headed macaws. The parrots eat the clay, which contains minerals that aid digestion. This is the reason why hundreds of parrots, parakeets and small macaws come to this special place.
We then continue our journey to Cusco. The journey takes about 10 hours, first by boat and later by bus. We leave you at your hotels. Dinner on your own.
