Detailed Itinerary Amazon Tour Tambopata
First, we will pick you up from the airport or bus station to transfer you to Capitania Port. From there, we embark on a one-hour boat trip downriver. Initially, we visit a local native family to learn about their ancient culture and traditional hunting tools.
Afterwards, we enjoy a delicious lunch before heading to a 27-meter-high canopy tower. This experience allows you to walk across a 89-meter long suspension bridge at the top of the jungle canopy. In addition to the breathtaking views, you will feel the adrenaline of flying over the trees on a 190-meter zipline.
Subsequently, we travel by motorized boat to the entrance of the Sandoval Lake reserve. After a one-hour hike through the jungle, we arrive at Maloka Sandoval Lodge. To conclude the day, we will enjoy dinner and search for caimans along the lakeshore under the moonlight.
We begin the day very early to visit the Macaw Palm Lick. This unique site is where various species of macaws and parrots gather to eat dead palm bark, which is rich in essential minerals for their digestion.
Following this, we return to the lodge for breakfast. Next, we go on an educational trek to observe the local flora and search for mammals such as monkeys, sloths, and anteaters. Later in the afternoon, you will have the chance to swim in the refreshing waters of the lake safely.
Finally, we explore the lake by canoe to spot giant river otters. To end the night, we take a fascinating hike to discover nocturnal wildlife, including tarantulas, scorpions, and rare insects.
Due to the incredible biodiversity of the area, we spend the morning revisiting key spots to ensure maximum wildlife spotting. We start with another early morning session at the palm lick to capture the best photographs of the birds.
Later, after a hearty lunch, we begin our journey back toward the river. Instead of returning to town, we head to our second location: the Tarantula Eco-Lodge. This transition allows you to experience a different ecosystem within the reserve. Once we arrive and settle into our rooms, we will share a final dinner surrounded by the sounds of the Amazonian night.
On the final day, you can enjoy a relaxed breakfast at the lodge. If your flight or bus schedule allows, you are welcome to spend a few hours refreshing yourself in the eco-lodge pool.
Eventually, we will coordinate your transfer back to Puerto Maldonado. We ensure you arrive at the bus station or airport in time for your departure, marking the end of an unforgettable Amazon adventure.

¿Additional information about the Lodge...?
FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – Tambopata 4-Day Tour
Planning a trip to the Amazon can raise many questions. To help you prepare, we have compiled the 15 most common questions from our travelers.
1. Do I need a Yellow Fever vaccination?
While it is not strictly mandatory for entry, it is highly recommended for anyone visiting the Amazon basin. We suggest getting vaccinated at least 10 days before your arrival.
2. Is there Wi-Fi or cell phone signal at the lodges?
In the heart of the reserve, the signal is very limited or non-existent. However, this is the perfect opportunity to disconnect and immerse yourself in nature. Some common areas may have limited scheduled Wi-Fi.
3. What is the weather like in Tambopata?
The weather is tropical—hot and humid. Nevertheless, "friajes" (cold fronts) can occur, dropping temperatures unexpectedly. Always pack a light jacket just in case.
4. Are there many mosquitoes?
Yes, the Amazon is their home. Therefore, we emphasize using repellent with DEET and wearing long-sleeved clothing, especially during dawn and dusk.
5. Is the water safe to drink?
We provide purified water at all times in our lodges. Consequently, you should use your reusable bottle to refill and avoid drinking tap water.
6. Can I swim in Sandoval Lake?
Yes! There are specific areas where it is safe to swim. Your guide will indicate the best spots where you can enjoy the water without risks.
7. What happens if my flight is delayed?
If your flight is delayed, please contact us immediately. We will do our best to rearrange your transfer, though additional costs may apply for private boats.
8. Is there electricity at the lodge?
Our lodges use solar panels or generators. Electricity is usually available during specific hours (mostly at night) to charge your cameras and phones.
9. Is this tour suitable for children or seniors?
Certainly. This tour is great for all ages, though it requires a moderate physical condition for the jungle walks. We can adjust the pace to suit your needs.
10. Are the meals spicy?
Not necessarily. While Peruvian food uses many peppers (ajíes), the heat is usually served on the side. In addition, our chefs prepare balanced meals for international palates.
11. What is the maximum luggage weight?
For the boat transfer, we recommend a medium-sized bag or backpack. If you have heavy luggage, you can store it safely at our office in Puerto Maldonado.
12. Will I see a Jaguar?
Jaguars are elusive and wild. While sightings are possible, they are rare. However, you are almost guaranteed to see monkeys, caimans, and dozens of bird species.
13. What currency should I bring?
Peruvian Soles (PEN) are best for small purchases. However, we also accept US Dollars for souvenirs or bar services at the lodge.
14. Do I need to bring my own rubber boots?
We provide rubber boots for muddy trails. Please let us know your shoe size in advance to have them ready for you.
15. When is the best time to visit Tambopata?
The dry season (May to October) is ideal for trekking. On the other hand, the rainy season (November to April) is beautiful for seeing the forest flooded and more active bird life.
