Tambopata Jungle Tour, 3 Days at a Riverside Jungle House
From €341 per person
See availability →A 3-day Tambopata jungle tour from Puerto Maldonado: stay at a rustic jungle house on the river, with a night walk, Lake Sandoval, sloths, caimans and a parrot clay lick.
This 3-day Tambopata jungle tour is based at a rustic jungle house beside the Tambopata River, close to the reserve. Rooms and bathrooms are private, there is wifi (a slow one) and no hot water. Bilingual guides lead every outing, in groups of at most 12 people per guide.
On the first day you reach the house by car or boat, have lunch and set out in the afternoon for a riverbank walk with a natural lookout, then a night hike that is likely to turn up tarantulas, snakes, frogs and night monkeys. The second day starts with a river outing of about two and a half hours looking for three-toed sloths and caimans, followed by a trip downriver to the Tambopata Reserve and Lake Sandoval, with a 3 km walk each way.
- Lake Sandoval, for monkeys, black caimans and, with luck, giant river otters
- Night walk and capybara and caiman searches
- A parrot clay lick with small green parrots and macaws on the last morning
Airport, bus station or hotel pickup, meals, entry to the reserve and vegetarian and vegan options are included. Excursions may change order depending on the guide.
