Fundo Mascoitania attracts an array of parrots and macaws thanks to the spectacular red mineral lick, or Collpa carved out by the Alto Madre de Dios river. This Collpa is the only one of its type in the area, and is visited daily by hundreds of colourful and noisy parrots and macaws, as well as wild turkeys, pigeons and doves. These in turn draw raptors such as the ornate hawk eagle and crested eagle.

The best time to visit the collpa is early in the morning. A 15 min ride upstream in the MLC's 'peke peke' takes you to the hide which is maintained and regulated by MLC staff..

Fundo Mascoitania also boasts two large mammal clay licks which attract endangered animals as well as large groups of white-lipped peccary and their natural Jaguar predators.
