Parrot Clay Lick, Mandi Wasi, Coto Trail

A delicious breakfast awaits us first thing in the morning to go by canoe down the Napo River to the clay lick. Here you can observe hundreds of parrots and parakeets that take advantage of the nutrients and goodness of this incredible place.

After experiencing this natural show, we head to a Kichwa community, where a local woman will introduce us to the community’s history and daily life.

A new trail awaits us after lunch, the Coto Trail; this hike takes us from the Lodge to the Garzacocha Lagoon, a place that looks like something out of a fairy tale; the sun’s rays pierce the trees showing the unique beauty of this forest.
