Lake Sandoval Full Day Tours

"INKAMAZONIA TOUR OPERATOR"

River turtles: An abundance of ideal habitats and food makes the Amazon perfect for tortugas. The 13 Amazon species of river turtle are all side-necked turtles, so called because they retract their head sideways into the shell. This primitive group’s fossils date back to the Cretaceous period over 140 million years ago, a time when river turtles were abundant throughout the Amazon Basin. Traditionally, Indian tribes kept turtles and farmed them for their oil, eggs and meat.

Complete itinerary

After breakfast, we get on the boat to sail for 10 minutes and then change for land transportation riding for two hours until the Capitania Port in Puerto Maldonado. There, we board a motorboat again and navigate down the Madre de Dios River watching animals such as turtles, caimans, lizards and others around its shores. After about half an hour, we get to a checkpoint of the Sandoval Lake Reserve.

We pass a check and start walking for 5 km to reach Sandoval Lake where we take a canoe bringing us to the Sandoval Lake , There, we accommodate ourselves and after lunch we return sailing the lake to see its typical inhabitants – giant river otters, black caimans, a prehistoric bird shansho, herons, cormorants, kingfisher, etc. For dinner, we return to the lodge to later get back to the lake again, this time to undertake an evening caiman observation because caimans are nocturnal animals. Our professional naturalist Tour Guide shows and explains us about these animals.Afterwards, we get ready for a return way boarding a canoe again to sail over the Sandoval Lake followed by a walk to the checkpoint and from there sailing the Madre de Dios River by a motorboat towards Puerto Maldonado. We pick our baggage up in our office and then, we are transferred either to the airport or the coach terminal.
