port on the Madre de Dios River. A 25 minutes journey down the Madre de Dios
River by motor canoe brings you to the riverside trailhead to Sandoval Lake
Lodge. From here the trail takes you on a 2-miles
(3,2-kilometers) walk through secondary forest, until we reach a small canal
where we board canoes and are paddled 220 yards (201 meters) through a
flooded forest of 100-foot (30-meters) 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 will learn about the
history of the lodge and the philosophy of its founders. Then 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. This macaw species
is found locally in parts of the Amazon, always living in flooded palm
forests such as the beautiful palm stand at Sandoval Lake. At 500-800 birds,
this flock of macaws at Sandoval Lake is currently the largest reported in
the world for this highly-specialized macaw. As night falls we will 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 to marvel at the
brilliance of the sky and listen to the sounds of the forest. We return to
the lodge for a short video or slide presentation and dinner. At any point,
you could step out from the bar to admire the wide variety of nocturnal
moths, beetles and praying mantis attracted to our black light in the lodge
clearing. For those with lots of energy, our guide will take us on a short
night-walk into the forest behind the lodge. (B;L,D)
DAY 9: LAKE SANDOVAL
PA 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 who frequent the lake and
are most active at this time of day. Sandoval Lake offers abundant wildlife
including over 40 species of birds resident to its lake margins, 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, of the prehistoric-
looking Hoatzins, These are easy to observe and also photograph from the
paddled canoes or catamarans. After returning for a late breakfast we set
off into the cool under story 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 who live in the forest near the lake, such as the Brown Capuchin
Monkey and Squirrel Monkey. Before dinner we will again enjoy an informative
natural history video or slide presentation. We will leave 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 10: TRANSFER OUT
After early breakfast we leave near dawn and we take a final, shorter paddle
around the west end of the lake to try and glimpse the Giant Otters before
returning by motor canoe for the 35 minutes return trip to the Puerto
Maldonado Airport, taking advantage of valuable early morning wildlife
activity along the river. From here you fly to Lima (airfare included). (B)
