Tour Overview

Discover the magic of the Peruvian Amazon with our Puerto Maldonado Sandoval Lake 3 Days / 2 Nights tour, an unforgettable journey into one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth.

Your adventure begins in Puerto Maldonado, where you’ll board a boat and cruise along the majestic Madre de Dios River. As you travel deeper into the rainforest, you’ll be surrounded by lush jungle landscapes, tropical sounds, and the incredible energy of the Amazon.

Your destination is the stunning Sandoval Lake, a peaceful mirror-like lagoon hidden within the rainforest. Here, you’ll glide across calm waters by boat while enjoying breathtaking views, colorful sunsets, and the chance to spot amazing wildlife in its natural habitat.

Along the way, keep your eyes open for parrots, parakeets, macaws, monkeys, and other tropical species. The sky and forest come alive with movement, color, and sound, creating a truly memorable jungle experience.

As night falls, you’ll have the opportunity to join a guided night walk, where the rainforest reveals a completely different world. Discover nocturnal insects, frogs, and other creatures while listening to the mysterious sounds of the jungle after dark.

On the following day, the adventure continues with a visit to a palm tree clay lick, a natural gathering place for macaws, parrots, and parakeets. Watching these birds gather in the wild is one of the most beautiful and iconic experiences in the Amazon.

You’ll also explore areas filled with ancient giant trees, some over a century old, offering a powerful reminder of the age, strength, and biodiversity of the rainforest. With luck, you may also spot the playful giant river otters that live in the waters of Sandoval Lake.

This experience is perfect for travelers looking for wildlife, nature, photography, relaxation, and authentic Amazon adventure — all in just three unforgettable days.

By the end of the journey, you’ll leave with more than photos. You’ll carry the sounds, colors, and energy of the Amazon with you.

We were a group of four girls, all 24 years old! It was an incredible experience! Genrri was an excellent guide, and our chef, Ricardo, was fantastic; he prepared vegetarian lunch and dinner for us every day. I highly recommend it!

We did the 4 day and 3 night Salkantay Trek on the 27th of July, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our trip. I couldn't recommend it enough, especially with Machu Picchu Teams.Everything exceeded our expectations from the accommodation and food to the organisation and most importantly, the amazing staff. Our guide Max made the experience so special. He taught us so much about the Quechua way of life and Inca traditions at every stop along the trek, which gave us such a good appreciation for the places we were visiting. He was also so much fun to be around, always making us laugh and keeping everyone's spirits high, even during the toughest parts of the hike. His positivity, encouragement and knowledge really made the experience unforgettable.A huge thank you as well to our chefs, especially Braulio, the head chef. We genuinely couldn't believe the quality of the food considering where we were. Every meal was so fresh and delicious and they had lots of vegetarian options too. We were given three generous meals a day which also included starters at lunch and dinner, plus snacks along the way. It was far beyond anything we expected on a trek.What really sets this company apart is the people. Max wasn't just a guide he genuinely cared about everyone in the group and always made sure we were doing okay. He knew exactly when to encourage us on the harder climbs, when to make us laugh, and when to stop to tell us another story about the history and culture of the area. He gave us a group name and gathered us every morning to do a chant together to get us ready for the day. You can tell he loves what he does and his passion made the whole trek so much more meaningful.The entire team was so kind and welcoming, and they made us feel looked after from start to finish. If you're thinking of doing the Salkantay Trek, I couldn't recommend Machu Picchu Teams more. It was an unforgettable experience, and we're so grateful to everyone who made it so special.

This tour is full of adventures and blessings. The exciting bicycle descent from the Andes took us through changing landscapes to the tropical rainforest. The hike through the jungle, led by an expert guide, allowed us to learn about the local flora and fauna. The RAFTING and ZIPLINING activities added excitement to the trip and were perfectly organized. The natural hot springs were an ideal place to relax after days full of activities. The visit to Machu Picchu was the highlight, with its impressive architecture and view. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a combination of adventure, nature, and culture.
