Embark on an unforgettable journey deep into the Amazon rainforest. This five-day Tambopata Jungle Trek to Sandoval Lake is a harmonious blend of adventure, wildlife observation, and cultural immersion.

From vibrant macaws and elusive jaguars to tranquil lake vistas and towering ancient trees, this journey is your gateway to the heart of Peru’s natural treasures.

Day 1: Arrival in Puerto Maldonado – Tambopata Lodge Inn Adventure Begins

Your journey starts with a warm welcome at the airport or bus terminal in Puerto Maldonado. After check-in at our main office, we’ll travel two hours by private transport to the Tambopata port. From there, a scenic 50-minute boat ride will bring us to the Tambopata Lodge Inn, where the adventure begins.

During the ride, keep your eyes peeled for capybaras, caimans, and perhaps even a jaguar basking on the riverbanks. Upon arrival, enjoy a refreshing Amazonian drink before settling into your private room.

In the afternoon, a guided trek through the primary rainforest unveils a world of ancient trees, vibrant butterflies, and curious monkeys. After dinner, a nocturnal excursion offers a chance to spot black caimans, capybaras, and perhaps a feline prowling by the riverbank.

Day 2: Macaw Clay Lick and Tambopata Research Center Exploration

Rise early to catch a breathtaking Amazon sunrise as we journey 1 hour and 20 minutes up the Tambopata River to the Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick. Here, hundreds of parrots and macaws gather in a dazzling display of color and sound, feeding on the mineral-rich clay to balance their diets.

Enjoy a hearty breakfast while marveling at the spectacle before exploring the Tambopata Research Center, renowned for its contributions to conservation. Discover giant trees, medicinal plants, and diverse wildlife, from monkeys to tapirs. After dinner, we’ll take a night hike to observe nocturnal creatures in their natural habitat.

Day 3: Colorado Macaw Clay Lick and Medicinal Plant Exploration

The symphony of the jungle awakens you as we set out to the Colorado Macaw Clay Lick, a hotspot for parrots, macaws, and even mammals. Watch nature’s choreography unfold before returning to the lodge for breakfast.

In the afternoon, visit a native medicinal plantation, where you’ll learn about traditional remedies and taste exotic fruits like papayas, pijuayo, and cashews. Conclude the day with a night tour to observe black caimans and other nocturnal species before resting in your private room.

Day 4: Journey to Sandoval Lake

After breakfast, we’ll embark on a boat and road journey to the Sandoval Lake Reserve. Following a one-hour hike through lush rainforest, we’ll board a canoe to traverse the serene waters of Sandoval Lake, surrounded by towering palms and aguajales.

Marvel at the reflections of migratory birds and playful monkeys. In the evening, a guided night walk will introduce you to the Amazon’s nocturnal wonders, from frogs to the elusive nocturnal monkey (Musmuqui).

Day 5: Return to Puerto Maldonado

Begin the day with a sunrise paddle on Sandoval Lake, taking in the last glimpses of this pristine paradise. After breakfast, retrace your journey back to Puerto Maldonado. Once there, repack your memories and treasures before being transported to the airport or bus terminal.
