Day 1: Arrival and Journey to Lake Sandoval Reserve

Your unforgettable Amazon adventure begins as you arrive in Puerto Maldonado. Upon arrival at the airport or bus terminal, you’ll be greeted by our friendly team and transferred to our office for a quick registration and luggage drop-off. From there, a boat ride across the Madre de Dios River awaits. This 45-minute tranquil journey offers the chance to spot a variety of wildlife, including herons, jacanas, ducks, and even caimans sunbathing on sandbanks.

Upon reaching the checkpoint of Lake Sandoval Reserve, we’ll complete registration before embarking on a 3 km hike through dense rainforest to our lodge, nestled on the shores of the pristine lake. Our eco-lodge, powered by solar energy, offers cozy private rooms with stunning views of the Amazon jungle.

In the afternoon, join us on a nature walk around the lodge, where you’ll discover ancient trees, medicinal plants, and vibrant orchids. As the sun sets, get ready for a thrilling night canoe ride where we’ll search for caimans in the darkness. With only flashlights guiding us, we’ll spot these elusive nocturnal reptiles, some reaching lengths of up to 5 meters. After this fascinating adventure, enjoy a delicious dinner before retreating to your private room for a peaceful night’s rest.

Rise early for a unique experience at the palm tree clay lick. At dawn, we’ll head out to witness colorful macaws and parrots feeding on the nutrient-rich clay and fruits, a breathtaking scene you won’t soon forget. After this, we’ll return to the lodge for a hearty breakfast before embarking on an exciting canoe ride around Lake Sandoval. Glide through the calm waters as we spot wildlife like white herons, monkeys, turtles, and possibly even a puma.

After lunch, enjoy an afternoon hike through the primary rainforest, marveling at towering mahogany and cedar trees, and discovering the rich biodiversity of the jungle. From medicinal plants to unfamiliar insects and birds, the forest is alive with wonders.

As evening falls, we’ll set off on a night walk to witness the jungle’s nocturnal creatures, including tarantula spiders, fireflies, and the elusive night monkey. Return to the lodge to share your experiences over a delicious dinner before resting for another exciting day ahead.

Day 3: Wildlife Encounters and Jungle Adventures

Start your day with an early morning boat ride to see giant river otters and various bird species coming to the lake’s edge in search of food. Watch in awe as these creatures interact in the early hours of the Amazon, creating a magical moment in the wild.

After breakfast, we’ll head to a scenic lookout where you can observe an array of bird species, including caracaras and rufous-breasted species, as you take in stunning panoramic views of Lake Sandoval. Afterward, enjoy some downtime in the hammocks or join us for a fishing expedition. Take in the serenity of the lake before cooling off with a refreshing swim.

As the day draws to a close, capture the perfect sunset photo over the tranquil lake. Later, prepare for your final jungle night walk, where we’ll explore the wonders of the jungle at night, from insects to larger animals, rounding off your adventure with a peaceful return to the lodge.
