Located a 25 minute motorized-canoe ride down the Madre de Dios River from Puerto Maldonado, the Sandoval Lake Lodge is perched above what many Rainforest specialists feel is the most attractive lake in Southern Peru, if not in the entire Peruvian Amazon. The whole complex is housed in one structure and includes 25 double rooms, hot showers and a spacious dining-room overlooking the lake. We can offer itineraries of 2, 3 and 4 days - with extra nights available on request to visit a Macaw Clay Lick or to just take it easy around Lake Sandoval.

Transfer from the airport in Puerto Maldonado to the Port on the Madre de Dios River.

ACCOM – Lodge / Meals – L, D

Day 2 SANDOVAL LODGE

A pre-dawn wake-up call allows up to be on the lake for sunrise and a hopeful encounter with a family of Giant Otters which frequent the lake and are most active at this time of day. Most of the fish-eating birds actively fish in the early morning as well If we are lucky we should get some excellent views of the pre-historic looking Hoatzins too. We return to the Lodge for a late breakfast and then set off on a jungle walk to see some towering Brazil Nut trees and a demonstration of how our hosts collect and process this important product. After lunch, we board the Catamaran to explore the eastern part of the lake where we may see one or more of the five species of Monkey to inhabit this area, e.g. the Brown Capuchin Monkey. After dinner we have a final chance to spot some Caiman on the lake or to take a moonlit jungle walk.
ACCOM – Lodge / Meals – B, L, D

Day3 SANDOVAL LODGE – PUERTO MALDONADO

Rising once again at dawn, we have a quick snack before boarding the Catamarans to explore the western end of the lake in the hope of an encounter with the Giant Otters.

As we walk, the forest will be brought to life as your guide explains the ecology of the rain forest and its diverse flora and fauna. We return to the Lodge for lunch and then in the late afternoon we once again head out in the Catamarans to explore the eastern side of the lake and to hopefully enjoy a spectacular sunset. After dinner we can take a short night hike.
