  • DAY 1: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE & LAGO SANDOVAL
    You will be picked-up at the airport, bus station or hotel and transferred to Capybara Hostel where you can have breakfast and drop off your belongings.

    From here we will head to Lake Sandoval, located in the National Reserve of Tambopata. It is the best way to see nature in its natural habitat including macaws, parrots, other bird species, monkeys, otters, caimans just to name a few. We will also have the opportunity to learn about different plant species, many of which are used as natural medicines. The experience includes an easy walk along a wooden bridge for around 1 hour until we reach the lake, where we will canoe through the calm waters, observing monkeys, birds, caimans and with luck giant otters.

    Lunch this day will be served at a lodge located inside the National Reserve of Tambopata, on lake Sandoval.

    After soaking in this awe-inspiring display of Amazonian wildlife, we will head back to the lodge for a good rest and dinner.

    After dinner, we’ll gather around the campfire — one of the most anticipated experiences by our visitors. Under a blanket of stars deep in the jungle, we’ll listen to captivating local stories from the Amazon.

 

  • DAY 2: NATIVE FAMILY & SUNSET TOUR
    After a delicious breakfast we will visit an indigenous family that belong to the “Matsigenka” culture. We will have the opportunity to learn about their culture; how to use bows and arrows; spin and weave cotton to make clothing called (Cushma); how to make ropes using the bark of plants; and finally they will show us their ingenuity on how to make fire from local resources.

    We’ll then head back to the lodge for a well-earned lunch and some time to relax.

    In the afternoon we will take part in our sunset afternoon activity where we will take a boat onto the Tambopata river to visit a “jungle beach” (not during rainy season) to see the sunset. We will also search for caimans, sloths, snakes and capybaras.

    After soaking in this awe-inspiring display of Amazonian wildlife, we will make our way back to Puerto Maldonado, arriving at around 4.30pm-5pm.

  • IMPORTANT: Please let you know if you have an earlier flight so that we can make arrangements accordingly.
