Jungle Lago Sandoval

Itinerary

Day 1. Reception at the airport or the Puerto Maldonado bus terminal and transfer to the office for check-in.

We will then transfer to the port where we will board a boat and sail for a one-hour cruise to our lodge.

Upon arrival, we will have a welcome meeting and a refreshing juice made with local fruits.

You will then be accommodated in your respective rooms.

A delicious lunch will follow.

After lunch, we will visit Monkey Island, located across the Madre de Dios River from our Lodge.

We will find different species, including the capuchin and monk monkey family that live on the island.
We will then return to the Lodge.

At night, we will go in search of white caimans, which are usually found on sandbanks in the Madre de Dios River. For this, it will be necessary to bring a flashlight.

We will also be able to see the capybara, the largest rodent in the world, which can weigh up to 60 kilos.

Then we will return to the lodge, have dinner, and rest.

Day 2. After breakfast, we will hike 3 km through the dense tropical rainforest and head toward Lake Sandoval.

This lake (a habitat for piranhas) is one of the largest in the Tambopata National Reserve. We will take a rowboat ride where we will see a wide variety of birds and monkeys of different species (shansho, cormorants, jacanas, pumas, herons, vultures, cotomonkeys, monk monkeys, black-faced monkeys, pichicos, and sloths).

We may encounter the endangered giant otter family (almost two meters long), and the largest recorded caimans, measuring over 4 meters long.

After this walk, we will return to the Lodge to enjoy a traditional lunch.

At night, we will take a walk where we can appreciate the diversity of insect species, amphibians, reptiles, and other nocturnal animals.

Return to the Lodge, dinner, and rest.

Day 3. At 5:30 a.m., we will take a short walk along the Canopy Walkway, at an altitude of about 30 meters.

Upon reaching this point, we will appreciate nature from the highest point possible and also have a panoramic view of the Madre de Dios River.

From the platforms, we will observe different species of birds such as toucans, macaws, tanagers, and orioles. This will be a wonderful experience.

Afterward, we will return to the Lodge for breakfast.

Then we boarded our boat to sail back to the city and then be transferred to the city, the airport, and/or the bus station..
