“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.

4.Eco Jungle 3 Days – 2 Nights

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 62 reviews · 3 days (approx.) · from $240Best value

Explore Peru’s Amazon from Puerto Maldonado with Sandoval Lake, Monkey Island, night wildlife walks, local guides, meals, and lodge stays.

“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.”
