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 with
private bath, hot showers, and a spacious
dining room overlooking the lake. For a more relaxed, complete
introduction to the rainforest, we recommend a two nights 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.
The Sandoval Lake, the Reserved Zone, and the adjacent
Bahuaje-Sonene National Park, is home to over 20,000 plant species, over 900
species of birds (more than all the species in the continental USA), 91 mammals,
1230 butterflies, 127 amphibians and reptiles, and much more! It is also a haven
for the Amazon's largest, most spectacular and most endangered predators - the
Jaguar, the Giant Otter, the Harpy Eagle and the Black Caiman. |
