DAY 1 LIMA
Reception in the Lima airport and transfer to Baraybar hostal (or
similar) located in Miraflores, Lima. Depending on the arrival time of
your international flight, we may have the opportunity to visit the
Peruvian Gold Museum (not included in the rate)
DAY 2 LIMA / PUERTO MALDONADO
Pick up from your hotel and transfer to the airport for your flight
to Puerto Maldonado (airfare not included) upon arrival reception and
transfer from Puerto Maldonado airport to the river port on the Madre de
Dios River.
A 25 minutes journey down the Madre de Dios River by motor canoe
brings you to the end of the trail in to Sandoval Lake Lodge. From here
the trail takes you on a 2-mile walk/or rickshaw ride through secondary
forest, until we reach a small canal where we board canoes and are
paddled 220 yards through a flooded forest of 100-foot tall Mauritia
palms. As the canal opens onto the shimmering surface of the lake, we
transfer to a catamaran and are leisurely paddled across half the lake
to the lodge.
After lunch and a brief rest to avoid the early afternoon heat, we
once again board the catamaran and set off to explore the entire west
end of the lake. Here, in the flooded palm forest we drift to the sounds
of hundreds of Red-Bellied Macaws as they return to the palm forest for
the night. We return to the lodge around nightfall for dinner.
After dinner we will return to the canoes to look for the large and
extremely rare Black Caimans. If it is a clear starlit night, we will
also be able to float in the middle of the lake and marvel at the
brillance of the sky.(B,L,D)
DAY 3 : SANDOVAL LAKE LODGE
A pre-dawn wake-up call will enable us to be on the lake for sunrise
and a hopeful encounter with the family of Giant Otters which frequent
the lake and are most active at this time of day. Most of the
fish-eating water birds around the lake actively fish in the early
morning as well, and this outing should provide excellent views, and
photographs, of the prehistoric- looking Hoatzins.
After returning for a late breakfast we set off into the cool
understory of the tall virgin forest near the lake to see some towering
wild Brazil Nut trees and a demonstration of how our hosts collect, open
and commercialize this important natural product.
After lunch and an hour or so to relax we once again board the
catamaran to explore the eastern part of the lake, where we might see
one or more of the five species of monkeys which live in the forest near
the lake, such as the Brown Capuchin Monkey.
There is a final chance after dinner to try and spot some Black
Caimans on the lake, or to go on a short night walk through the primary
forest.(B,L,D)
DAY 4 PUERTO MALDONADO / CUSCO
After a dawn breakfast we take a final, shorter paddle around the
west end of the lake to try and glimpse the Giant Otters before
returning to Puerto Maldonado to catch the flight to Cusco (airfare not
included) upon arrival reception and transfer to the Hostal Orquidea
Real or similar (rooms on the first floor) in cusco - Overnight. (B)
