Amazon Explorer Wildlife 4-Day

Day 1: Puerto Maldonado to Sandoval Lake Reserve -Amazon Explorer Wildlife

Your adventure begins with a warm welcome at Puerto Maldonado Airport. Our expert ecotourism guide will be your companion throughout this incredible journey. After a brief stop at our main office in Puerto Maldonado to store your belongings and gather essentials, we head to the port, where a waiting motorboat will transport us along the Madre de Dios River. The 45-minute journey leads us to the Sandoval del Tambopata Lake Reserve’s control post, where we register and prepare for the adventure ahead.

Our hike of approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes will introduce us to the fascinating rainforest. Along the way, we’ll encounter a plethora of flora and fauna, from exotic plants to colorful birds, insects, butterflies, and even playful monkeys. A small port will greet us, where we’ll board a canoe, gliding through a narrow canal surrounded by the forest’s lush embrace. As we emerge into the open waters of Lake Sandoval, we’re greeted by a breathtaking spectacle of palm trees and vast aguajales, accompanied by the intriguing sounds of the jungle’s hidden inhabitants.

After crossing the lake, our cozy hostel awaits, just a 4-minute stroll from the Sandoval Lake port. Here, you’ll find comfortable rooms with private showers and baths. Following a short rest, we embark on a journey to explore the flora and fauna, observing species thriving in their natural habitats. As the day draws to a close, a night walk with lanterns or headlamps opens a window to the nocturnal world of monkeys, frogs, snakes, and other creatures that come alive in the darkness. Rest easy in your comfortable rooms, knowing that more adventures await.

Day 2: Amazon Explorer Wildlife to Explorer Nature Wildlife

After a hearty breakfast, we set off to explore the wonders of Lake Sandoval. Our wooden canoe carries us in search of the world’s largest river otters, an iconic and protected species that grace the lake’s waters. As the morning sun bathes the landscape in golden light, we also spot herons, kingfishers, cormorants, shanshos, migratory birds, turtles sunning on fallen trees, and even small caimans inhabiting the lake’s banks.

Following lunch, we venture into the lush jungle, immersing ourselves in the primary forest. Ancient giants like Shihuahuacos, kapoks, and renacos dominate this rich ecosystem, providing homes and sustenance for countless mammals, birds, and other creatures. Keep a keen eye out for jaguars on the prowl and parrots and partridges feasting on fruits. The canopy reveals hallucinogenic plants like ayahuasca, and medicinal flora used for healing. Our return journey to the lodge unveils an oasis bathed in sunlight, where we may spot the elusive black caiman shimmering beside the lake’s brilliance. As night descends, reptiles and birds venture to the water’s edge, a thrilling spectacle to behold. explorer amazon peru

Day 3: Macaw of Palms Tree and Adventure (Canopy Tower) -Amazon Explorer Wildlife .

Prepare for an early start as we cross Lake Sandoval to reach the Collpa de Palmeras, a remarkable clay lick. Here, diverse species of macaws and parrots gather, feasting on the mineral-rich wood of palm trees. This dietary supplement aids their digestion and counters the toxins ingested from unripe fruits. It’s a vivid display of color and life, one you’ll never forget.

After breakfast and a brief respite, we embark on a canoe journey to explore the floodplain forest. A two-hour walk unveils ancient trees like Shihuahuacos, Lupunas, and oje. These towering giants are exclusive to this type of forest, and their lush canopies provide abundant food and resting places for wildlife, including the elusive jaguar and various bird species.

Lunch and relaxation await at the lodge. In the afternoon, we set out on a canoe adventure to visit a 12-meter-high tower situated between the tourist and refuge areas. From this vantage point, we witness the enchanting sunset, a mesmerizing panorama that brings our day to a close.

Dinner and a peaceful night’s rest at the lodge await.
