We begin with pickup at the Main Square of Puerto Maldonado and travel to the port to take a 40-minute boat ride along the Madre de Dios River toward the Tambopata National Reserve. After a quick registration, we start a 3 km hike to Lake Sandoval along a clean, well-maintained trail with an ecological bridge. Along the way, and with a bit of luck, we may spot monkeys, snakes, tarantulas, tropical birds, parrots, and some jungle mammals. At the end of the hike, a canoe will take us across the lake toward our cabins, exploring an area where herons, shore birds, caimans, and—if we are fortunate—the impressive giant river otter can often be seen. Upon arriving at the lodge, we enjoy a traditional Amazonian lunch prepared by Luis and his family, followed by a short rest in the hammocks. We then continue wildlife spotting by canoe before returning to our boat around 4:00 pm to head back to Puerto Maldonado.
