Heath River Wildlife Center Location
The Heath River Wildlife Centre is the only lodge situated by the Heath River, which runs through the heart of the Tambopata National Reserve and the Madidi National Park protected area. The lodge is only a 10 minute boat ride away from a large macaw clay lick where visitors have seen up to 260 macaws at one time. This makes this area one of the top 5 of the world’s 100 known clay licks.
Heath River Wildlife Center Facilities and Construction
The lodge is built from environmentally friendly materials such as driftwood-mahogany and palm thatch. The lodge has ten double or triple private bungalows, which are all equipped with a private bathroom and hot water shower. There is also a spacious dining, bar, and lounge area.
Heath River Wildlife Center Habitats
From the lodge we can walk through the transition of two very different ecosystems, and see the abrupt change to open lowland savannah of the Pampas del Heath. The rainforest abruptly changes to an open area similar to those of East Africa. On this excursion we can also see the nesting sight of hundreds of red-bellied blue-and-yellow macaws.
Heath River Wildlife Center Wildlife Viewing
There is an extensive trail network around the lodge where we can take walks looking for rainforest animals. There is also a hide platform where we can try and spot the elusive lowland tapir, the Amazon’s largest land mammal. We can also visit the Cocha Moa to see many birds and monkeys, as we paddle around the lake in canoe.
Heath River Wildlife Center Tours
During the daylight hours, we can navigate the waterways searching for birds and monkeys then of a night we can observe the caiman inhabiting the river banks. We may also visit the village of Sonene, one of the remaining communities of the Ese’Eja indigenous people, where we can learn from descendents of nomadic forest tribes.
