Itinerary
Day 1: Puerto Maldonado – Sandoval Lodge – Nocturnal Exploration
We will pick you up at the airport or bus station and transfer you to our office for registration.
After that, we will head to the dock, where we will take a boat to the lodge (a 40-minute journey).
As a welcome gesture, we will offer you a refreshing juice made from local fruits, and at the same time, our guide will provide information about the lodge policies.
Then, we will settle into our assigned rooms.
After enjoying a delicious lunch and a short nap, we will embark on a two-hour hike through the dense tropical forest.
Our expert local guide will lead us along trails that will allow us to appreciate a wide variety of medicinal plants and trees that can live for over six hundred years.
Along these trails, we will have the opportunity to observe wildlife such as monkeys, parrots, macaws, armadillos, reptiles, insects, frogs, spiders, and other creatures.
We will experience the pure energy of the mother forest and live magical moments within the Tambopata National Reserve.
At night, we will embark on a boat ride along the riverbanks in search of nocturnal animals.
We will have the opportunity to see caimans of different sizes, owls, nightjars, and, with luck, the world’s largest rodent, the capybaras.
We will return for dinner.
Day 2: Lake Sandoval – Return to Puerto Maldonado
One of the best times to observe the abundant wildlife is at dawn or dusk.
In our case, we will opt for an early morning departure on our boat towards Lake Sandoval, located within the Tambopata National Reserve.
Witnessing the exuberant biodiversity that Lake Sandoval harbors is simply unparalleled.
To reach the lake, we will walk along a wooden path of almost 3 km (1.8 miles).
Along the way, we will be surprised by the rich fauna that inhabits this place.
At the end of the path, we will find a small dock where we will board a rowboat to explore the lake.
During this journey, we can spot black caimans, giant otters, herons, turtles, monkeys, macaws, wild ducks, and much more.
We will return to the lodge before noon for lunch.
Depending on your flight or bus schedule, we may return earlier or later for lunch.
In the Tambopata Reserve or Manu, you can enjoy an unparalleled experience thanks to our excellent lodge service and the unique natural environment with endangered animals.

TripAdvisor Reviews

Thanks to our clients’ trust, we continue creating unique experiences surrounded by nature and Andean culture.
Thanks to the entire team because it was a wonderful experience.
Don't miss the tour to the Ballestas Islands and the dunes in Ica. Carlos, the man who drove the buggy, was very nice and super friendly, taking our photos and everything!
Thank you, thank you.
In the reserve we could find many types of fauna and the guide gave information at all times and knew many species.
From the moment I arrived in Peru, Peru Jungle Trips made everything feel effortless and personal. Pedro, the owner, greeted me at the airport with a warm, open energy that immediately set the tone for the rest of the journey. He thoughtfully organized both parts of my trip, first to Cusco and Machu Picchu, then deep into the Amazon jungle, handling every detail with care, sincerity.
What made it even more special was the consistency throughout the experience. Every driver and guide I encountered shared the same heartfelt energy. They were easy to find, always on time, and carried a calm presence that helped everything feel aligned. It allowed me to move through the journey with ease and actually enjoy the experience without stressing over logistics.
Then there was Kevin, my guide in the jungle, who took the experience to another level. With a sacred presence and deep knowledge of the land, he didn’t just show me the jungle, he helped me connect with it. He was a kind and gentle spirit, who was fully present. His guidance felt personal and grounded.
Peru Jungle Trips is more than a travel service. It is an experience curated by people who genuinely care. I’m grateful to have found it, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for something meaningful and real❤️
