Boating on the lakes of Madre de Dios

There is a paradise for those who love to observe nature: the forests of Madre de Dios. Here, lakes like mirrors are the perfect setting for spotting animals as you glide along in respectful silence.

 

Lake Sandoval and Lake Valencia are two of the most popular lakes among visitors: as you glide across their surfaces you may spot a hoatzin, a remarkable ancient bird species which recalls the mythical phoenix. You might even spot piranhas in the water. 

 

But don’t worry, the forests are a welcoming place for those who respect and venerate them; just enjoy the ride and let the experiences offered by this pristine rainforest habitat sail past you.
