Sandoval Lake is an "oxbow lake" formed generations ago by the shifting waters of the Madre de Dios River. Those who wish a shorter or more economical trip to excellent lowland rain forest should visit Sandoval Lake Lodge. To reach Sandoval Lake, you boat 25 minutes down the Madre de Dios River from the city of Puerto Maldonado and then walk or ride in rickshaws for 45 minutes along two miles (3 km) of flat, rain forest trail. Sandoval Lake is considered by rainforest specialists as the best and most attractive lake in the Peruvian rain forest |
