Excursion Overview
Visiting a clay lick is one of the most mesmerising sights you are likely to experience during a trip to Peru. After patiently waiting at their preferred feeding time, it is likely that these colourful species will gingerly approach the clay lick to feed. After the first brave few arrive, hundreds more often follow and the wall becomes a hive of activity. The clay is said to neutralise toxins in their diet, or arguably it is said the birds simply require more salt in their diets. Either way, it is a special sight not to be missed.

Brilliant bespoke planning and expert advice in scheduling our trip to South America, nothing was too much trouble, really refreshing to experience a sincere customer focused approach. We had a fabulous itinerary across Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Easter Island, holiday of a lifetime. They set a very high standard and I can't recommend them more highly.

We contacted HA to plan a family adventure through the Andes from Lima in Peru, through Bolivia and down to Santiago in Chile. Louise at HA was amazing and quickly understood exactly the type of trip we were after and organised it perfectly. Louise helped us plan an action-packed itinerary and once on the road it all went smoothly with excellent guides throughout, the organisation was faultless. It was an incredible experience for the whole family and we would definitely recommend HA. We won't hesitate to use HA for our next adventure - many thanks!
