Description

The adventure begins with pickup from your hotel in Puerto Maldonado and heads to the Madre de Dios river where your boat for the day awaits. Board the boat and set sail along the vibrant river towards the National Reserve of Tambopata, a vast landscape rainforests that is rich in colorful wildlife. Arrive at the reserve and enjoy a 55-minute walk through the luscious landscape until you reach Sandoval Lake. Throughout the walk, admire views of the colossal jungle trees that surround you and watch out for native wildlife including monkeys and parrots. At the lake, hop into a canoe head out onto the calm waters, which beautifully reflect the trees that line the shore. Keep a look out for the abundance of animals and birds that call Sandoval their home, and in particular the lake's giant otters.  Enjoy a quick stop for lunch and some rest time, then hop back in your canoe as you go in search of black caimans and yet more fascinating wildlife, then slowly begin the journey back through the jungle and towards the riverboat waiting to return you to Puerto Maldonado. Pick up starts at noon (around) and we stimates back town around 5:45 pm. WE prefer join the lake during the afternnon because we considering is the coolest time and animals will be more actives.

Important Information

  • La hora de recojo empieza al medio dia desde la ciudad y de acuerdo a la ubicación del hotel el recojo puede ser antes o despues de las 12:00 pm previa comunicacción whatsapp con el viajero. El lago Sandoval, no es un zoologico es una area natural donde viven animales silvestres y tenemos oportunidad de verlos pero hay dias en que no se ven muchos o casi nada de animales ( eso no es nuestra culpa). Considerando estamos en amazon rainforest habran dias muy calurosos, muy humedos y a veces de lluvia. Los grupos maximos por guia son de 12 viajeros. En la epoca de mayo a octubre es temporada de muchos viajeros: Entre noviembre y abril probablemente hayan menos viajeros.
