Tour Itinerary: Sandoval Lake Lodge – 2 Days in the Amazon Rainforest Trip

Day 1: Arrival in Puerto Maldonado – Your Amazon Adventure Begins

Your journey starts the moment you arrive at Puerto Maldonado Airport, where our team will greet you with a warm

welcome. We’ll head to our local office for a short orientation and to securely store any large luggage—you’ll bring

only what’s needed for the jungle expedition.

We then travel to the port, where a motorized canoe will carry you along the Madre de Dios River, one of the main

tributaries of the Amazon, toward the entrance to Sandoval Lake Tours .

After a 30-minute ride, you’ll begin a scenic 3 km (1.8-mile) jungle walk—an ideal chance to spot tropical birds,

butterflies, and fascinating native plants. At a narrow waterway, you’ll switch to a paddle canoe and quietly glide

through the flooded forest into the serene Sandoval Lake.

As you explore the mirror-like waters, keep your eyes open for Giant Otters, howler monkeys, and vibrant macaws.

With some luck, you might even see the enormous paiche—an Amazonian fish that can weigh over 220 lbs (100 kg).

After a delicious dinner at the lodge, head out for a night safari by boat. Search for black caimans, frogs, and

nocturnal birds. On clear nights, enjoy the breathtaking view of the stars and the glowing arc of the Milky Way over

the rainforest.

Day 2: Sunrise at Sandoval Lake – Return to Puerto Maldonado Amazon Rainforest Trip .

Wake early to witness the Amazon sunrise—a magical moment as the jungle stirs to life and the lake reflects the

glowing sky. After a final paddle through the western palm swamps, you’ll return to the Madre de Dios River and

head back to Puerto Maldonado.

Our team will escort you to the airport, your hotel, or bus station, marking the end of your extraordinary Amazon

journey.

Subtropical Rainforest Climate: The Essence of the Jungle

This Amazonian region boasts a humid subtropical climate, typical of the tropical rainforests in southern Peru. With an average temperature of 26°C (79°F), the weather is warm and inviting year-round—ideal for jungle exploration. But nature always keeps you on your toes:

Daytime highs can soar up to 38°C (100°F)

Sudden temperature drops—especially during Andean cold fronts (known locally as “friajes”)—can plunge the mercury to a brisk 10°C (50°F)

These dynamic weather shifts provide an exciting and immersive experience that’s far from ordinary.
