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.

He did an amazing job of explaining the places we went to. He was also super chill and made great conversation. Despite accomplishing much in a short span, we never felt rushed. Furthermore sometimes when food is included in a tour, it's usually subpar, but the buffet lunch was fantastic and our group was pleasantly surprised by the quality. Cannot recommend this tour enough, especially if you find it difficult to adapt to altitude at Cusco in the first couple of days. Luis A2025-04-11Verified Reliable and secure agency An amazing experience! We got to know a lot about Peruvian culture, visited many archaeological sites and observed beautiful landscapes. The train experience was wonderful, certainly the best Carlee C2025-04-10Verified Very Friendly and Great Tour We had a great time on our jungle adventure. 3 days, 2 nights. We purchased the tour here in Cusco and the staff was very helpful accommodating the days we were available to go. They also supplied binoculars and a duffle bag for repacking. Very good communication in Whatsapp as well. Daniel R2025-01-29Verified Increible Highly recommended, very attentive.The tures are exactly how they sell.

Edu Z2025-01-07Verified I'd come back many more times From the beginning the very good service, always attentive to every detail to enjoy all the places visited ☺️ Lana D2025-01-01Verified Great! Affordable!!!! Highly recommend Pedro from Peru Jungle Trips. I only had a few days in Cusco, so I wanted to see as much as possible in my time frame. Pedro was so helpful in planning out my itinerary, and made sure that I spent New Years Eve seeing Machu Picchu and that I made it in time to Cusco for the countdown. Pedro not only gave me a very affordable rate (and that I know from comparing my quote to other travelers I met), but he was able to find last minute train tickets to and from MP for Dec 31st. He also made sure that at every destination, someone either picked me up or directed me to my next location. And of course, it didn’t go unnoticed that Pedro was constantly checking in on me to see how my activities and trip is going. Pedro genuinely wanted me to have a great holiday trip in Cusco.
