Puerto Maldonado, Peru is a great base to explore the Amazon Jungle. Getting from Cusco to Puerto Maldonado is easy and the Amazon near Puerto Maldonado is less touristy than other areas!
Our Favorite TourThe Amazon Rainforest is the most diverse region in the world. It produces 20% of the world’s oxygen and is home to 20% of the world’s river water. With 40,000 different plant species and approximately 2.5 million insect species, it’s no wonder why it’s one of the most visited places in South America.
The Amazon actually spans over 9 countries which give visitors lots of choice of where to visit. When we were traveling in South America we had a hard time deciding where to visit the Amazon. Some places were too expensive, some were too remote, and some were too mainstream and overcrowded with tourists.
That’s why we chose to go to the Amazon from Puerto Maldonado in Peru.
Puerto Maldonado, Peru is a rather forgotten city when it comes to a place to visit the Amazon. In Brazil, you have the famous Manaus, and in Peru, you have the more popular city of Iquitos.
In addition, Puerto Maldonado is rather easy to get to from Cusco and multi-day trips to remote eco-lodges (only accessible by boat) are affordable.
With the millions of people who visit the Amazon each year, finding unique and spectacular wildlife can become more difficult as a place becomes more populated. That’s why during our visit to Peru we decided to make the journey from Cusco to Puerto Maldonado to visit the Amazon jungle.

Sandoval Lake is a “dipper lake” formed generations ago by the changing waters of the Madre de Dios River, and is considered by tropical forest specialists as the best and most attractive lake in the Peruvian rainforest. This particular lake has one of the largest and most accessible populations of Giant Otters in danger of extinction in Peru, huge Black Cayman and Paiche 10 feet long, the largest freshwater fish in the world. Once it spread throughout South America, the giant Otter was hunted almost to extinction and is now one of the most vulnerable mammals on the continent. However, Lake Sandoval has a prosperous and healthy population, and from the comfort and stability of the catamarans, guests have the opportunity to see these powerful predators while fishing and having fun in the lake, as well as a lot of Colorful birds.
