Located adjacent to Peru's Tambopata Candamo National Reserve, Sandoval Lake Lodge overlooks sparkling, palm-rimmed Sandoval, the most beautiful and wildlife-rich of all lakes in the Tambopata-Madidi wilderness. Our Amazon tour to this privileged location gives you exclusive access to the lake in the early morning and late afternoon, the choice hours for wildlife viewing and photography on this picturesque Peru tour.

Thanks to a pre-dawn wake-up call, you'll to be on the lake by sunrise to get a fresh start of this portion of our Peru tour. With luck, your early arrival will allow you to encounter the family of giant otters that frequents the lake, and to watch the fish-eating birds when they are most active. This scenic outing may provide an opportunity to photograph the prehistoric-looking hoatzin bird species. After returning to the lodge for a late breakfast, you'll head into the cool under-story of the tall virgin forest near the lake to see some towering wild Brazil-nut trees and watch a demonstration of how your hosts collect, crack open and commercialize this important natural product. After lunch and an hour of relaxation, you'll board a catamaran to explore more of the eastern part of the lake, where you may see as many as five monkey species, including the brown Capuchin, that live in the nearby forest. After dinner, you may go looking for black caimans on the lake or go on a short night walk through the primary forest.
Rising again at dawn, you'll have a quick snack before our Peru travels take us aboard the catamaran to return to the western end of the lake in hopes of encountering the giant otters. After a late breakfast, explore some of the Peru Amazon rainforest trails. As you walk, the rainforest will be brought to life as your resident naturalist-guide explains its ecology and diverse flora and fauna. Return for lunch and an optional rest for those who would like to escape the early afternoon heat. Anyone still full of energy may wish to independently explore some of the forest trails. In the cooler late afternoon, the group will once again board the catamaran to further explore the lake, and, weather permitting, experience a spectacular sunset over the lake before returning to the lodge for dinner. After dinner, there is a final opportunity to look for black caiman on the lake or to go on a short night hike through the forest.

After breakfast at dawn, you'll take a brief paddle around the west end of the lake for a last glimpse of Amazonian wildlife before returning to Puerto Maldonado for the flight to Lima.
