Clay licks, or collpas in Quechua, are simply high concentration deposits of minerals that are hard to come by in the rain forest. For parrots and macaws they come in the form of river bank clay deposits, but mammals sometimes gather around exposed soil in the ground, monkeys lick tree trunks with sediments and butterflies flutter about beaches where nutrient- rich liquids have evaporated. Clay licks are thus a widespread and not so uncommon phenomenon in the rain forest

Choquequiraw is situated in the spur of the mountain range of Salkantay, over 3030m surrounded by the Apus of Yamana, Ampay, Chokecarpu, Pumasiyo and Panta, on the left bank of Apurimac river. In the time of the Incas, it was united and in communication with Machu Picchu by a complex network of trails.

Clay licks like these are scattered throughout Amazonia. Although locals have always known about the clay licks and the ability to see parrots well at these sites, clay licks did not gain the attention of scientists until 1984.

This hike takes more time to do the traditional Inca Trail to Machupicchu (Machu Picchu), leaving more time to appreciate the nature and archaeology along the way. We spend one long fourth day visiting Winaywayna and Machu Picchu, and on the fifth day we return to Machu Picchu to see the sunrise from the Sun Gate. We encounter valleys that contain wildlife endemic to high deserts or the tropics, between stretches of puna and cloud forest. We encounter mysterious archaeological sites half covered by jungle overgrowth, which look like you are discovering them for the first time. Machu Picchu is one of the worlds greatest cultural treasures, and of these is the most enigmatic

It is a private island where ecological activities, such as treks on which you will be able to watch the four South American Cameloids, birds, Andean cultivations and livestock breeding, are organised. You can also take part on cultural manifestations, not to mention the experience of tasting the exquisite Novo Andean cuisine, prepared with local organic produce. It is a place where it is possible to admire the immensity of the lake and where to enjoy the night under a beautiful sky in harmony between man and nature.
