ARCC - Amazon Research and Conservation Center

ARCC is an amazing new www.faunaforever.org initiative...

ARCC is based in the South-west Amazon. Just one amazing feature of the region are 6 local species of macaw which frequent our reserve and indeed the lodge. These include blue and yellow, red and green, scarlet, blue headed and chestnut-fronted macaws. We also take guests to visit a number of macaw and parrot clay-licks within and around the reserve which allows for some excellent macaw and parrot viewing.
