Sandoval Lake 4-Day Tour with Canopy Walkway and Zip-Line
From €386 per person
See availability →A Sandoval Lake 4-day tour from Puerto Maldonado that pairs a rowing boat on the lake with a canopy walkway, a zip-line and kayaking on the Madre de Dios.
This Sandoval Lake 4-day tour spends three nights at Monte Amazonico Lodge, so the lake is one chapter among several adventures, from a canopy walkway to a zip-line. The start is at the lodge's office in Puerto Maldonado, followed by an hour by boat to the lodge and a fruit juice to welcome you.
The first afternoon takes you to Monkey Island, opposite the lodge, and after dark you search the riverbanks for caimans with a flashlight. On day two a short boat ride leads to the lake entrance, and after the checkpoint a 3 km walk brings you to Sandoval Lake. A rowing boat glides past hoatzins, herons, eagles, howler and squirrel monkeys, capuchins and sloths, with a chance of giant river otters. A night walk rounds off the day.
- Canopy walkway about 30 metres up, with views of the Madre de Dios River
- Zip-line run with a safety talk from an instructor
- Kayaking across the river at sunset
- Artisanal fishing, with catfish as the likely catch
Day three begins at dawn on the walkway, where toucans, macaws, tanagers and orioles show up among the platforms. After breakfast comes the zip-line, then lunch and rest, and in the afternoon the kayak crossing. The last morning is breakfast and the transfer back to the city, airport or bus station. Hotel, airport and bus pick-ups and the entrance to the Tambopata National Reserve are part of the package.
