Lake Yacumama Sunset Tour with Piranha Fishing
From €58 per person
See availability →A Lake Yacumama sunset tour from Puerto Maldonado: a canoe on calm waters among palm swamps, piranha fishing with release, and sunset views over the forest.
This Lake Yacumama sunset tour is a short Amazon outing of about three hours, ending after sunset. You leave Puerto Maldonado in a motorized vehicle, drive for about 20 minutes, then walk roughly seven minutes down to the water, where a canoe is waiting.
The lake is a former stretch of the Madre de Dios River, and the canoe glides over its calm water between lush vegetation and aguaje palms. Macaws often roost here, so birds are part of the scenery. Along the way you can try your hand at piranha fishing; the catch is released, to respect the natural balance of the lake.
- A canoe ride on Lake Yacumama
