Amazon Wildlife Tour Itinerary – Sandoval Lake 2 Days / 1 Night. The Trips Sandoval Lake 2 days

 DAY 1: Puerto Maldonado – Amazon Wildlife – Sandoval Lake: Monkey Island & Night Walk

Welcome to the Amazon Wildlife Sandoval Lake Nature Reserve!  We will meet you upon arrival at the airport or bus terminal in Puerto Maldonado and take you to our main office for check-in.

From there, we’ll head to the Madre de Dios River port, where we board a motorized boat for a scenic 40-minute ride.

During the boat journey, you’ll spot a variety of wildlife such as white herons, anhingas, cormorants, and sunbathing caimans on sandbanks.

We’ll arrive at the main checkpoint of the Sandoval Lake Reserve, where each visitor must register. From here, we’ll begin a 3-kilometer nature hike along a flat trail that leads deep into the Amazon rainforest, reaching a small hidden dock.

Next, we board a wooden paddle canoe and travel across the tranquil waters to our jungle lodge. After check-in, you’ll settle into your private room with en-suite bathroom.

In the afternoon, we’ll take a guided walk to observe birds, monkeys, and other large animals. Along the trail, you’ll see towering trees, medicinal plants, orchids, ferns, and the Brazil nut tree, known for its highly commercialized nuts.

After a delicious dinner, we’ll head out on an exciting night walk. With the help of our naturalist guide, we’ll look for insects, butterflies, tarantulas, nocturnal birds, and if we’re lucky, even the elusive dusky titi monkey.
We’ll also take the paddle canoe again to spot nocturnal wildlife along the lake. After this adventure, we return to the lodge for rest in your private jungle room.

 DAY 2: Amazon Wildlife – Sandoval Lake Palm Lick – Puerto Maldonado

We’ll wake up early at 5:00 AM to visit the Palm Lick (Collpa de Palmeras). Here, you’ll witness the spectacular sight of macaws, parrots, and parakeets gathering to feed on the nutritious aguaje palm fruit, which grows in the swampy wetlands of the Amazon.

This fruit is a superfood, rich in vitamins A, E, B12, B13, C, as well as sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and other minerals.

After this birdwatching activity, we return to the Amazon Wildlife Lodge to enjoy a hearty breakfast.
