A must-do excursion.

I loved this excursion. They came to pick us up at the hotel and took us to the dock; from there, we took a boat to reach the national reserve, where a hike began during which we saw monkeys, tarantulas, blue butterflies... Our guide explained interesting facts about these animals and the area. We arrived at the lake where we took some canoes and explored, seeing otters, caimans, parrots... An incredible experience. They served us food wrapped in banana leaves; we rested a little and then returned. The landscapes were beautiful, and our guide was a 10.

Amazing day inside Amazon nature!!

This excursion was amazing and I met a lot of amazing animals that you can enjoy just in the Amazon Forest. The guide explained and show us a lot of information about vegetation and animals in the Forest. We were lucky because we saw many Amazon animals during our day trip in the lake.

Very interesting

My partner and I loved the experience. Our guide Paul showed us animals and insects of all kinds, providing us with a lot of information about them. The hike in the jungle is not at all tiring; it is very pleasant, and at the lake, we saw several caimans, monkeys, and many different types of birds. We would definitely do it again.

It was a lovely tour and the guide took great care of our group. I saw a fairly large cayman and two families of monkeys and many different species of birds. The views around sandoval lake are incredible, and the lunch I was given was really nice :)
