Sandoval Lake Reserve 2 days

Travel Day 1:

Puerto Maldonado – Sandoval Lake Reserve  – Exploring  Flora/ Fauna :

You are welcomed and pick-up from the airport/coach terminal of Puerto Maldonado by our Representative to take you to our office where you can leave your large baggage not necessary for the trip, but you will need a backpack for personal items and more. Then, we transfer you to a local port where you board a motorboat and navigate down the Madre de Dios River. On the way, we observe various mammal species such as turtles, birds, lizards, monkeys, turtles, caimans, etc., until we reach a checkpoint of the Sandoval Lake Reserve and after passing a check, we start walking for 3 km (1 and half an hour) to reach Sandoval Lake where we take a canoe bringing us to the Lodge. There, we accommodate ourselves and after lunch, we return sailing the lake in a canoe to see its typical inhabitants – giant river otters, black caimans, a prehistoric bird shansho, herons, cormorants, kingfisher, etc. Then, we return to the lodge for dinner to later get back to the lake again, this time to undertake an evening caiman observation, as caimans are nocturnal animals. Our professional naturalist Tour Guide shows and explains us about these animals. We stay overnight in the lodge.

Travel Day 2: –

Sandoval Lake Reserve Trip   –  Puerto Maldonado:

Today We will get up very early trying to see once again the family of giant otters and watch the rising sun with its light and some species of animals that forage for food. to cross the lake Sandoval and to walk about 20 minutes to visit the Macaw palm tree (Collpa de palmeras or palms clay lick ). This is a special place where different species of macaws (blue and yellow, scarlet, red bellied, chestnut fronted) and parrots(yellow crowned, mealy, white bellied) meet to eat the dead wood of the palms trees that is rich in salts and minerals (calcium, sodium, potassium, aluminum, magnesium and iron). This is a very important mineral supplement and helps these birds with digestion and to counteract the bad effects of the toxins that they ingest feeding on un-ripe fruits. we wi ll take the same way back walk 3 kilometers to the river Madre de Dios where is waiting our boat back to the city of Puerto Maldonado where is waiting the bus to go directly airport or bus stations .
