Lake Yacumama Canoe Tour at Sunrise or Sunset
From €45 per person
See availability →A Lake Yacumama canoe tour from Puerto Maldonado, with a choice of sunrise or sunset: a short drive, a walk to the canoe and about three hours on a quiet Amazon lagoon.
This Lake Yacumama canoe tour comes in two versions, one at sunrise and one at sunset, so you can pick the light you prefer. Both leave Puerto Maldonado by motorized vehicle for a 20-minute drive, then continue on foot for about seven minutes from the entrance to the canoe.
The lake was once part of the Madre de Dios River. Today it is a lagoon wrapped in vegetation and aguaje palm swamps, and it is even a place where macaws come to sleep. You paddle across it with a professional guide, watching the plants and wildlife around you, and spend a while in the middle of the water with a wide view of the forest, at the end of a sunrise or a sunset.
- A paddle on Lake Yacumama

The whole outing takes about three hours, ending back in Puerto Maldonado. Taxi and canoe transportation, the guide and tickets are included, while food and extra expenses are not.
