Located a 25 minute motor canoe ride down the River Madre de Dios from Puerto Maldonado, Sandoval Lake Lodge is perched above what many rainforest specialists feel is the most attractive lake in Southern Peru, if not in the entire Peruvian Amazon.

The whole complex is housed in one structure and includes 25 double occupancy rooms (16 with private baths and 9 with sharing facilities), hot showers, and a spacious dining room overlooking the lake.

For a more relaxed, complete introduction to the rainforest, we recommend a two night stay. However, with the easy access from Puerto Maldonado, for the first time it is possible to spend only one night in the rainforest and still get a good preliminary idea of the splendor of the Peruvian Amazon.

This trip has two major wildlife attractions : the Macaw lick in which hundreds of brightly colored macaws and other parrots congregate to eat the clay which is essential to their digestion making it certainly one of the world's great wildlife spectacles and the worlds only known ; Tapir lick where in the comfort of mattresses and mosquito nets you may watch the largest of all South American Land Mammals visit a mineral lick. Other attractions include several ox-bow lakes and walk up canopy towers enabling east access to the rainforest canopy.

This program is designed for visitors to the Manu area with limited time available and who want to maximise their rainforest experience in Peru. This area of forest and lakes has a higher diversity of life than the Manu River itself.

We leave the city and the noise, to enter an area of silence where we ccan ear the song of the birds, the sound of a little stream and the enchantment of the mountain. In 5 days we cross the valley, the high mountain range, and almost without realizing we enter the vegatation of the cloud forest, for finally astonish ourselves on the majesty of the beautifull Machu Picchu, integrated to the mountain as if it were part of it, work of great architects who knew how to construct in harmony with the landscape.
