Adrenalin-pumping adventures take priority over wildlife watching here. This popular lodge near Lago Sandoval, with its two spick-and-span blocks of wooden, tin-roofed rooms, has canopy walkways and a zipline. A decent pool, a resident tapir and a nicely done common area with table football completes the agreeable overall effect.
Kayaking and fishing are also possibilities, alongside other more conventional jungle activities. You can head here just for the day for US$80 per person. Book through their Puerto Maldonado office, part of Carlos Expeditions.
