Explore Tambopata’s Sandoval Lake, clay licks, wildlife and canopy on a rustic four-day Amazon tour from Puerto Maldonado.
“It was my favourite part of the holiday. Our tour guide, Tito, was brilliant. He answered questions and knew plenty about the surrounding areas. You will see plenty of wildlife, but please do not expect to see a wild jaguar or anaconda. It is extremely rare. People have been working in these areas for many years without spotting such animals, and you will only be there for a few days. It is possible, as a group (not mine, unfortunately) did spot a wild Puma while we were there. You will have an activity packed 4 days, and you will love it. I highly recommend this tour company.”
Review of the 4-day Tambopata jungle tour from Puerto Maldonado, with Lake Sandoval, wildlife, canopy views, meals, lodge tips, and value.
“This trip was amazing - you are on the amazon, in nature and it's 100% worth doing. However, the tour operator itself had some issues and isn't offering anything that other operators in the area aren't. Pros: Activities are well spaced out, so you can deal with the heat and not get worn out. You also get plenty of downtime to enioy the surroundings Food was good - simple but plenty and filling The guides are flexible. You can ask to go on a night walk and they will take you to the jungle behind the lodge as extra, or in my case find you on a morning stroll and…”

“Attività bene organizzate. Pasti particolari e ottimi. Bellissima l’uscita notturna sul fiume alla ricerca di caimani e quella nella foresta alla ricerca della fauna notturna. Il rientro a Puerto Maldonado di solito è a metà mattina.”

“Llegaron 2 horas tarde de lo que pone, lo que supuso hacer la excursión con un calor asfixiante. A pesar de que claramente pone que la excursión es en español, el guía Sergio solo hablaba en inglés, por más que le insistimos traducía solo una parte y de forma incompleta y malas formas, cuando es su lengua materna. Éramos 6 españoles en el grupo que se lo estuvimos continuamente diciendo. Luego decidió mandarnos con un compañero suyo para separarnos y él no tener que hablar en español. En el camino de vuelta, pasó lo mismo, no volvió a hablar en español. No entiendo, porque se ofrece esta excursión de esta…”

“La excursión y la actividad merece mucho la pena. Con el guía, Gabriel, ningún problema. Explica con ganas y pone interés. El problema viene con la organización de la actividad a través de agencia Machu Picchu Journey. Nos indican una hora y un lugar en concreto. La noche de antes y a través de una actividad que no tiene nada que ver, nos indica otro guía que no, que en teoría debería ser a otra hora y que nos deben de recoger en el hotel. Esto sin información alguna de la agencia Machu Picchu Journey. A la mañana siguiente y por insistencia nuestra, nos indica que el horario ha cambiado…”
