Macaw sites for you to visit from Tropical Nature Travel

Here is a run-down on various species and habitats that we take you to visit:

1. Large macaw nests near Manu National Park in Peru (we have 20 nests within an hour of Manu Wildlife Center, fledging season being 10 March through 15 April or so).
   
   
2. A large macaw clay lick in Manu or other part of SE Peru (You get Scarlets, Greenwings, and Blue and Golds well at these sites in Manu and nearby).
   
   
3. Pantanal and/or Piaui, Brazil, for Hyacinth Macaws (but if you wish tall rain forest habitat for that species, then Carajas, Brazil is the site).
   
   
4. Lear's Macaw in northern Bahia State, Brazil (and perhaps Spix's as well--it is not far from one to the other site--both are in Bahia State, Brazil).
   
   
5. Blue-throated and Red-fronted Macaws in Bolivia (in seasonally flooded savannahs in the case of the first one, and dry interAndean valleys for the second one). Dry season is a bit easier for this one, as is also the case for location 3 (hyacinths).
   
   
6. You pick up Red-bellied, Blue-headed, Military, Golden-collared, Blue-winged (Illiger's), Severe, Red-shouldered (Noble) Macaws at the above sites, which means that you will have:
