Tour Rainforest Expeditions – 2 Days

Tour Rainforest Expeditions – This place is a surprising natural paradise, home to one of the largest concentrations of endemic birds and butterflies found in the lowlands of the world. Tambopata-Sandoval Lake offers one of the most exciting and unique Amazonian experiences in the Peruvian Amazon.

As we explore, we may spot the giant river otter, also known as the ” Giant river .” Unfortunately, this species is endangered. Its preferred diet includes fish, turtles, and black caimans.

Sandoval Lake is home to a great diversity of species, all of which make it their habitat. Here, you can enjoy an exciting exhibition of one of the rarest species of mammals. Additionally, the area is known for its vibrant blue and gold macaws, as well as red-bellied macaws.

These birds live naturally in the flooded palm forest at the western end of Lake Sandoval .

In the surrounding forests, you’ll find various species of monkeys, including the brown capuchin, friar monkey, red howler monkey, musmuqui, stump monkey, saddle marmoset, and night monkeys. Other animals, such as the Bolivian squirrel, also inhabit these forests.

The sunrises over the lake are truly spectacular, accompanied by the songs of the birds and the howls of the monkeys.

Similarly, the sunsets are awe-inspiring, as the sun’s rays penetrate the depths of the jungle before it disappears at

the edge of Lake Sandoval—a perfect moment for photographs.

Take a canoe ride into the deeper parts of the lake, where you’ll discover the incredible flora and fauna that nature has to offer.

In the virgin primary forests, we can find a variety of medicinal plants and giant trees that reach over 80 meters in height and are more than 500 years old.

These ancient trees provide a habitat for many species, from the smallest frogs and ants to the largest mammals, reptiles, and birds.

The Sandoval Lake Reserve holds many mysteries and secrets that you can uncover with our native jungle guides.

Tour Itinerary  Tour Rainforest Expeditions – 2 Days

Day 1: Puerto Maldonado – Rainforest Expeditions to Sandoval Lake

You’ll be picked up from the airport or bus terminal and transferred to our office. After registering and storing any unnecessary luggage, you’ll take only what is needed for the tour.

Then, we will transfer you to the port to board the outboard boat, which will take us along the Alto Madre de Dios River.
During the journey, you might spot several species on the riverbanks, such as turtles sunbathing on fallen trunks, migratory fishing birds, and, if you’re lucky, the world’s largest rodent, the capybara.

Upon reaching the Sandoval Lake checkpoint, we will register and begin a 3-kilometer walk into the heart of the deep jungle.

Afterward, we’ll arrive at a small port where we will board a canoe and paddle through a snake-shaped channel.
From there, we will cross the lake in about 50 minutes to the Sandoval Lake Lodge, where you’ll check in, get settled

in your room, and enjoy lunch. In the afternoon, we will explore Lake Sandoval in our canoe to observe the local

wildlife, including the giant otter family (also known as the “river wolf”), black alligators, prehistoric birds called

shanshos, turtles, and many bird species.
Afterward, we’ll return to the lodge for dinner. Later in the evening, we will embark on a night excursion by canoe,

carrying flashlights to spot black alligators, night birds, and monkeys on the riverbanks.
After this activity, we’ll return to the Sandoval Lake lodge to rest in your respective rooms.

Day 2: Sandoval Lake to Puerto Maldonado

We’ll begin the day by waking up to the sounds of birdsong and enjoying a delicious breakfast. Afterward, we will

take our rowing canoe and visit a swampy area called Guacamayo Palmera (Collpa de Palmeras). This area attracts

various species of macaws and parrots that feed on the fruits of the palms, rich in vitamins, sodium, calcium, potassium, and other essential minerals.

Next, we’ll explore the primary Amazon rainforest to observe towering walnut trees (known for their chestnuts) and other important plants used by local people for medicinal purposes. Among these plants are ayahuasca, chacruna,

cañacaña, ajo sacha, huayo sugar, chuchuhuasi, and copaiba.

Along the way, we will observe species of monkeys, including the brown capuchin, squirrel monkey, howler monkey, friar monkey, and little lion monkey.

We may also spot tarantulas, insects, frogs, toads, and mammals such as armadillos, sloths, and more.

After this exploration, we will return to the lodge for lunch.
In the afternoon, we will board a rowing canoe to navigate across Lake Sandoval.

We will then hike back to the

checkpoint before boarding the outboard boat for the return journey along the Madre de Dios River to Puerto Maldonado.

Finally, we will collect our luggage at our office and take you to the airport or bus terminal.
