With its lakeside location, no other lodge in the Tambopata region offers such accessibility to Giant Otters

Sandoval Lake Lodge, part of the Tropical Nature conservation system (Our Mission), is the only full-service lodge located in the wildlife-rich Tambopata National Reserve in Peru. With the variety of lake and forest fauna, it is easy to see how Sandoval Lake lodge was named by Condé Nast Traveler as one of the eight best lodges in the Amazon Basin with "... a reputation for its great food ... its setting ... and for its wildlife" (December 2002).

Situated on a bluff overlooking Sandoval Lake, this 25-room lodge is a partnership between Tropical Nature and five Brazil nut-gathering families. It was built to protect the Giant Otters and other endangered wildlife that inhabit the lake and surrounding forest.
Giant Otters
Sandoval Lake has one of the largest, and most accessible, populations of endangered Giant Otters in Peru. Once widespread throughout South America, the Giant Otter was hunted nearly to extinction and is now one of the most vulnerable mammals on the continent. Yet Sandoval Lake has a thriving and healthy population, and from the comfort and stability of catamarans these powerful predators can be observed as they fish and frolic in the lake.
                        
Sandoval Lake Lodge's location gives instant access to lake wildlife during the cool hours of golden light after dawn and before dusk. No other lodge in the region has such a privileged location, nor offers such unique access at all times of day to wildlife viewing on an Amazonian lake.

Enormous Black Caiman and 10-foot-long Paichi, the largest scaled freshwater fish in the world, join the otters as residents of the lake. From a stable catamaran platform, guests have the opportunity to see these, as well as a host of colorful birdlife, as they are paddled around the lake.
