Peruvian Jungle 2 days

2-Day Lake Sandoval Reserve Adventure: A Journey into the Heart of the Amazon

Day 1: Puerto Maldonado to Sandoval Lake Reserve – Flora & Fauna Exploration

Your adventure begins when we welcome you at Puerto Maldonado’s airport or bus station. A representative will guide you to our office, where you can leave your unnecessary luggage for the jungle trip. We recommend bringing only a small backpack with essentials for your two-day Amazon adventure.

Next, we head to a local port where you’ll board a motorboat for an exciting ride down the Madre de Dios River. As we cruise through the river, keep your eyes peeled for wildlife sightings, such as monkeys, turtles, caimans, and various species of birds, including herons and kingfishers. After a brief stop at a checkpoint, we’ll disembark and take a 3 km walk (approximately 1.5 hours) through the lush rainforest to reach Sandoval Lake, where a traditional canoe will transport us to the eco-lodge.

Once we arrive at the lodge, you’ll settle in and enjoy a delicious lunch before heading back out onto the lake. We’ll canoe around the serene waters, looking for the giant river otters, black caimans, shanshos (prehistoric birds), and other fascinating wildlife that call this place home. As the sun sets, we’ll embark on an evening caiman observation tour to observe these nocturnal reptiles. A professional naturalist guide will provide insights into their behavior and ecology. After a thrilling day of discovery, we’ll return to the lodge for a hearty dinner and a peaceful night’s rest.

Day 2: Macaw Palm Lick & Return to Puerto Maldonado

On your second day, we’ll start early to catch a glimpse of the giant otter family as they greet the day, along with other creatures foraging for food. We’ll then take a short walk (20 minutes) to visit the Macaw Palm Tree  , a special site where macaws (blue and yellow, scarlet, and chestnut-fronted) and parrots (yellow-crowned, mealy) gather to consume the mineral-rich clay found on the palm trees. This natural supplement is essential for their digestive health and helps counteract the toxins from unripe fruits they often consume.

After this unique experience, we’ll retrace our steps, walking back through the forest to the Madre de Dios River. From here, we’ll take a boat ride back to Puerto Maldonado, where a bus will be waiting to take you directly to the airport or bus stations, marking the end of your unforgettable Amazon adventure.
