In the natural world, clay provides parrots and macaws with essential minerals to survive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watching dozens of them gather on clay walls is both fascinating and unique, which is why it has become so popular among visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find some of the most iconic clay licks (or <em>colpas<\/em>) in the Peruvian jungle, especially in Tambopata, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.viajesmachupicchu.travel\/en\/guide-to-visit-manu-national-park-in-peru\/\"><strong>Manu National Park<\/strong><\/a>, and Pacaya Samiria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, in this article, we\u2019ll explore what exactly&nbsp; these clay licks or \u201c<em>colpas\u201d are<\/em>. Watching birds eat dirt may seem strange, but it\u2019s a fascinating sight. This behavior plays a key role in nature\u2019s balance. Let\u2019s dive in then!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&nbsp;What on Earth Are Clay Licks?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We call these dirt walls \u201cmacaw clay licks\u201d or \u201ccollpas.\u201d Collpa comes from the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.viajesmachupicchu.travel\/en\/10-quechua-street-names-in-cusco-and-what-they-really-mean\/\"><strong>Quechua word<\/strong><\/a> \u201cqolpa,\u201d which means salty land or mineral salt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, this is the place where animals, such as mammals, and especially birds, gather to eat clay, which contains mineral salts that they can\u2019t find in vegetables or fruits. When they consume it, it can also help with reproduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clay particles can also attach to alkaloids and other substances in unripe fruits. This helps lower their toxic effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, there&#8217;s the social part: Clay licks are safe spots for flocks. They gather, make sounds, and land one by one. This helps reduce the chance of being preyed upon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>History and Cultural Significance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The origin of clay licks has different hypotheses. In the northeastern Amazon rainforest, the explanation is clearer thanks to scientific evidence of an ancient oceanic transgression in the region, where even marine fossils have been found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other side, in the southeast, however, one hypothesis suggests that strong waves once pushed seawater from southern Paraguay into southern Bolivia, allowing saltwater to mix with freshwater river systems that eventually reached the southeastern<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.viajesmachupicchu.travel\/en\/thrills-adventures-and-tastes-in-the-peruvian-amazon\/\"><strong> Peruvian Amazon<\/strong><\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this area, sodium levels in vegetation are very low, while the clay from the licks contains up to 40 times more sodium\u2014explaining why wildlife relies on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indigenous Amazonian communities\u2019 knowledge of clay licks long before science explained them. Clay licks in local folklore and traditional ecological understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Western scientists first documented them (brief reference to explorers and biologists from the 20th century).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"697\" height=\"465\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.viajesmachupicchu.travel\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/29e0647e-698f-4795-8db6-133e9f3be6e3.png?resize=697%2C465&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Bird such as macaws, parrots parakeets, and other mammals in the clay licks\" class=\"wp-image-18672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.viajesmachupicchu.travel\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/29e0647e-698f-4795-8db6-133e9f3be6e3.png?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.viajesmachupicchu.travel\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/29e0647e-698f-4795-8db6-133e9f3be6e3.png?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.viajesmachupicchu.travel\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/29e0647e-698f-4795-8db6-133e9f3be6e3.png?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.viajesmachupicchu.travel\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/29e0647e-698f-4795-8db6-133e9f3be6e3.png?resize=330%2C220&amp;ssl=1 330w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.viajesmachupicchu.travel\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/29e0647e-698f-4795-8db6-133e9f3be6e3.png?w=1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.viajesmachupicchu.travel\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/29e0647e-698f-4795-8db6-133e9f3be6e3.png?w=1394&amp;ssl=1 1394w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&nbsp;The Main Stars \u2013 Animals You Can Spot<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Macaws: <\/strong>&nbsp;They\u2019re the stars of the collpas.

Its towering walls rise over 25 meters high and stretch nearly one kilometer wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every morning, hundreds of colorful bird species and some mammals come here to get important nutrients.

Most tours begin with early morning boat rides along misty Amazon rivers, where the rising sun paints the jungle in soft golden light.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The anticipation builds as you approach the colpa, and the sounds of the forest wake up around you. Visitors can watch the spectacle from riverbank hides or quiet floating platforms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These spots are designed to minimize noise and movement. This allows you to get close without disturbing the animals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The moment hundreds of macaws and parrots swoop down together is unforgettable\u2014it\u2019s like a moving rainbow on the clay walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Photography tips:<\/strong> A good zoom lens and a steady hand are your best friends. The dry season (May\u2013October) usually offers clear skies and reliable boat access, perfect for photos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the rainy season (November\u2013April), the jungle gets greener. Wildlife is more active, too. However, trails can be muddier, and delays may happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conservation and Threats<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite their beauty, clay licks face serious challenges. Deforestation, illegal logging, and mining are harming habitats.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, the illegal wildlife trade is putting parrot and macaw populations at risk. These colorful birds are often captured for the pet trade, reducing their numbers in the wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the good news: ecotourism plays a key role in protecting clay licks. Travelers who pick eco-lodges and guided tours help conservation projects and local communities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This creates an economic incentive to keep the forests standing. Several organizations are involved in these efforts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rainforest Expeditions<\/strong> \u2013 manages eco-lodges near Tambopata and funds scientific research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WWF Peru<\/strong> \u2013 works to conserve biodiversity and fight illegal wildlife trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Local communities<\/strong> enjoy tourism jobs and often take part in protecting the areas in which they live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your visit isn\u2019t just a trip\u2014it\u2019s a small but meaningful contribution to conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"697\" height=\"317\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.viajesmachupicchu.travel\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TRIP-BLANQUILLO-MACAW-CLAY-LICK-.jpg?resize=697%2C317&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Macaws in clay licks in peru\" class=\"wp-image-18676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.viajesmachupicchu.travel\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TRIP-BLANQUILLO-MACAW-CLAY-LICK-.jpg?resize=1024%2C465&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.viajesmachupicchu.travel\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TRIP-BLANQUILLO-MACAW-CLAY-LICK-.jpg?resize=300%2C136&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.viajesmachupicchu.travel\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TRIP-BLANQUILLO-MACAW-CLAY-LICK-.jpg?resize=768%2C349&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.viajesmachupicchu.travel\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TRIP-BLANQUILLO-MACAW-CLAY-LICK-.jpg?resize=1536%2C698&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.viajesmachupicchu.travel\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TRIP-BLANQUILLO-MACAW-CLAY-LICK-.jpg?w=1980&amp;ssl=1 1980w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.viajesmachupicchu.travel\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TRIP-BLANQUILLO-MACAW-CLAY-LICK-.jpg?w=1394&amp;ssl=1 1394w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More than just birds eating dirt<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At first glance, you might think: \u201cIt\u2019s just parrots eating dirt.\u201d But standing there, watching wave after wave of brilliant macaws, listening to their calls echo through the forest, you realize it\u2019s much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clay licks are a reminder of the Amazon\u2019s fragile balance, how even something as simple as minerals in clay sustains entire species.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For visitors, it\u2019s a chance to slow down, connect with nature, and witness a ritual that has been happening for thousands of years.
