As silly as it sounds I was amazed to go to the Amazon and for it to look exactly like it does on TV. The most peaceful and beautiful place, one of my favourite places so far. #jungle #amazonriver #peru

Puerto Maldonado is the up and coming tourism spot with Inkaterra running several lodges situated on the banks of the Madre de Dios river. This was a fantastic experience to learn about the company's preservation efforts, plants, animals, and participate in a well- organized day and night tours through the jungle.

Discover the most popular places to visit in Tambopata

Lake Sachavacayoc is in the middle of nowhere - two hour boat ride from Puerto Maldonado and then another one to two hour hike through the jungle but you get to see lots of cool flora and fauna. You can also fish for piranha. They are hard to catch for a novice but our guide caught several. We took them back to the lodge and the kitchen cooked them for us. They are very bony fish! There was no one else on the lake when we were there which made the experience even better. #fishing #Adventure #jungle #lake #LocalSecrets
