We know you will enjoy the personal attention provided by our staff and facilities at Paradise Lodge on the shores of the Alto Madre de Dios River – Tambopata Sandoval Lake.
Our 12 double occupancy bugalows ensure that you are not surrounded by more tourists than animals and this makes for a more relaxing tranquil visit with more opportunity to find the wildlife!. Just enough other travellers to make it interesting but not overbearing. Triple bed accommodation is available on request.
The Amazon Rainforest is home to some of South America’s most beautiful scenery, but navigating the powerful rivers and exploring independently is dangerous. On this tour, use the Tambopata National Reserve as your base and see the best of the Amazon with ease. Trek through dense tropical forest to discover native plants and wildlife, and cross the Madre de Dios River to Monkey Island—with your accommodation and meals included.
On arrival of your flight to Puerto Maldonado, Our Guide/Staff will meet you at the Airport and transfer you to the Centre of town- where you can visit the exotic local market. Depending on the arrival time of the flights we may have the first lunch here or while traveling toor at the lodge. we will continue onto the port. We take our private boat along the Madre de Dios River for approximately 1 hour to Paradise Lodge.
A cool welcome drink awaits you and then you´ll be shown to your Bungalows to settle.
In the afternoon we will take a 30 min boat journey to Monkey Island where you can appreciate a great diversity of monkeys such as the “Maquisapa”, “Martin”, “Little lions”, “Frailes”, “Achuñis”, Ronsocos” etc, as well as a rich variety of birds.
Return to Paradise Lodge for a delicious traditional Dinner. Nocturnal Activities are available each night. These range from nocturnal walks, talks on different topics and Cayman spotting when conditions are optional.
After Breakfast, we take a 1.5 hour walk to the famous Sandoval Lake, passing through virgin forest, home to beautiful flora and fauna including Giant Otters, Water Birds, Alligators, wild hens, Taricayas and a variety of fish. We will spend a few hours in canoe on this, one of the most beautiful lakes in the Madre de Dios where you can fish for piranha, row, swim, walk or simply relax before returning to the Lodge in the afternoon.
We will have a box lunch at Sandoval lake. One of the most awe inspiring features of the Jungle is the enormity of the trees and you will have the experience of standing at the base of the huge Lupuna. We may take a short visit to the Fitzcarral boat. Return to the lodge. Dinner. Nocturnal Activities (optional).
Very early departure to view the parrot clay lick, Sunrise on the river as we journey 1 and a half hours to a clay wall where hundreds of green parrots congregate at first light each morning. We will generally be able to spend about an hour here before reboarding the boat to enjoy breakfast on our return to Puerto Maldonado. Checkin 2 hours before flight and then time to visit the stunning Snake farm before your flight on to Cusco or Lima.
We spent 3 days here on a very memorable trip to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Pierina dealt with our booking incredibly well and everything was very smooth with the collection and our requests. Our amazing guide Jarinson (Harry) who was with us from our arrival in to Maldonado was incredible. All the staff were amazing a special call out though to Luis the barman and to Gabriel the resident biologist who runs the research work. We were blessed to see a Jaguar swim the river which was one of many incredible highlights. This place is as remote as you can get in Tambopata and having experienced other lodges and parts of the Amazon I can safely say this experience is by far the best.
