“We had a splendid time during this tour! Our guide Miguel was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We felt very much like being in good hands. We saw many monkeys, birds, butterflies, even sloths, etc. After we left we had the feeling we had done every activity that you can do in the area. Our favourite part was the trip to Sandoval Lake where we saw also a cayman, monkeys and many many bird species. The lodge was great. Breakfast, lunch and dinner as well. They were also flexible with the food. We had forgotten to mention that one of us doesn’t eat any fish. They gave us some vegetarian food…”

“I had such a good experience on this trip. Louis was definitely the best guide I could ask for. The days were packed and I was able to see so many wild animals in their natural habitat. I am usually vegetarian at home and can’t eat dairy and they were more than accommodating. The rooms are hot with no fans but you’re in the jungle. I did learn that people paid a different amount of money each but I think it’s 1000% worth it.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 15 reviews · 3 days · from $210

Explore Sandoval Lake and Tambopata National Reserve on a 3-day Amazon trip with wildlife walks, night caiman searches, meals, and transfers.

“It was okay. The Jungle Trip lasted for exactly 48 hours over 3 days and two nights. While the guides were really helpful, kind and knew a lot about the flora and fauna, there were some downsides: A guide brought a caiman on board of our boat and showed it around, really close to all inhabitants. That was unnecessary, cruel to the anima and dangerous for us. The food was alright at best, but local. In the end, we were left with a bit of a sour note, but we do not regret participating. The price seemed fair for what we were given.”
