Sandoval Lake 3-Day Tour with Rainforest Night Walk
From €269 per person
See availability →A Sandoval Lake 3-day tour in Tambopata: canoe the lake, meet the monkeys of Monkey Island and look for caimans and nocturnal animals after dark.
This Sandoval Lake 3-day tour trades the city for two nights in the Tambopata rainforest, in the company of a guide who explains how the Amazon basin works. Days are spent in primary and secondary forest, and evenings belong to the animals that only come out in the dark.
On the water of Sandoval Lake you look for mammals, birds and endangered species. On Monkey Island you learn to read how the monkeys behave and relate to each other. Once night falls, the search for caimans begins, with a chance of finding a capybara, the largest rodent in the world. A walk in the forest then turns to insects and nocturnal animals.
- Sandoval Lake, explored by boat
- Monkey Island, to watch the primates up close
- Tambopata National Reserve, on a night walk
The package covers pickup and drop-off from a hotel in the city, the airport or the bus terminal, lodging, food, the guide and the reserve entrance. Drinks, snacks and tips are extra, and a single room carries a supplement. The tour runs with a live guide in English or Spanish, so it suits travellers who want three days of wildlife without organising anything themselves.
