After going just a little more than half an hour down the Madre de Dios River
from Pro Maldonado and after walking an easy 3 km trail, you will find on of the
hidden jewels of the Peruvian Amazon – Sandoval Lake, considered by many
ecologist as one of the most beautiful and species rich areas in Peru.
We are going to take our motor canoe,
sixteen hp in the small river port called “Capitania” down river we can discover
the animals near to the bank as Taricaya turtle, beautiful butterflies, white
Caymans, and the biggest rodent of the world called Capybara, and spot shore
birds.
Once you arrive at the small dock of the checkpoint to National Reserve
Tambopata you have to sign in at the check point and can spend some time there
for small interpretation walk nearby or just rest a bit because the firth real
adventure is waiting for you.
The hike to Sandoval lake , specially the three kilometers are quite tempting
since some parts flooded in rainy season , but don’t worry the trail is flat and
shady and there is a lot of interesting thing to see.
As soon as you arrive at the lodge, you will get enough time to swimming in the
lake without problem. After that will be going in the jungle at night to see
nocturnal animals and insect dinner and finish of the activity.
An early wakeup call enables us to be
on the lake by sunrise, definitely the best time in the Amazon to spot wildlife.
You will see many birds in on, over and around the lake Cormorants, anhingas
different kinds of herons and egrets , fly catcher , red capped cardinals and
certainly the strange –looking hoatzins .
But the main attraction of lake Sandoval is of course the family of Giant otters
one of the most rarest and most endangered mammals species on earth.
After returning for a late breakfast, we set off into the cool understory of the
tall primary forest near the lake to see some wild Brazilian nut trees. Your
guide will show you more plants that are used by locals for constructions, as
food or medicine or for other purposes, and step by step you will discover the
impressive diversity of the Amazone rainforest with different forms of life
everywhere.
After lunch, you can take some time for yourself to relax and later you once
again board a boat to explore the eastern part of the lake an area which is
particular good to spot different monkeys species like the brown capuchins , the
squirrel monkey or the red howler monkey. Eating and resting along the shore.
After sunset get your flash light ready to spot the massive black caiman,
crocodile specie up to 5 meters long and highly endangered because of its
precious skin but Sandoval lake still has a healthy populations, as you will
notice by the dozens of red eyes glaring at you, after dinner you get up early
the following morning.
If you weren´t lucky to see the giant
otter on day 02, you can try again this morning or what about an early walk
through the rainforest listening to some of some of over 500 species of birds
occurring around lake Sandoval is up to you !
