Lake Sandoval Full-Day Tour: Boat, Hike and Canoe
From €58 per person
See availability →A Lake Sandoval full-day tour from Puerto Maldonado: boat down the Madre de Dios, walk an hour into the reserve and paddle a canoe among otters and birds.
A Lake Sandoval full-day tour mixes three ways of moving: by boat, on foot and by paddle. From Puerto Maldonado you head to the port and travel down the Madre de Dios River to a lodge, then continue to the entrance of the Tambopata Reserve.
From there a hike of about an hour leads through the jungle to the shore of the lake. You then board a paddle canoe to explore the water, where, with luck, river otters, birds and turtles show themselves. Lunch comes afterwards, and anyone who wishes can swim in the lake, following the guide's instructions. The day ends back in the city.
- River trip on the Madre de Dios
- One-hour hike in the Tambopata Reserve
- Paddle canoe on Sandoval Lake
The tour includes lunch, round-trip boat transport, a local guide and entry to the reserve. Drinks and extra expenses are not covered. It is an easy choice for travellers with a single day to spare who still want to see the reserve from the water.
