Can you see Puerto Maldonado in one day?

Yes — a Lake Sandoval canoe trip, a macaw clay lick and a canopy walkway fill one great day.

What is the best one-day experience?

A full-day trip to Lake Sandoval, where giant otters and caimans gather.

One day covers a taste of the jungle; a two- or three-day lodge stay reveals much more.
