Puerto Maldonado Amazon Tours2-Day Tambopata Wildlife Tour from Puerto Maldonado
At $230 this 2 day Tambopata wildlife tour is the cheapest night in the forest on this page, and it is not the thinnest tour. The room is private, with its own bathroom and hot water; the board is full from lunch on day one to breakfast on day two; and the itinerary spends its time on a sunset river cruise, a night walk and a parrot clay lick instead of the standard Sandoval Lake run. It also carries the clearest weather clause here: if conditions kill a core activity, you get your money back. It sits on the Puerto Maldonado Amazon tours comparison alongside every other length.

Quick answer The cheapest night in the forest, and what it does not include
Tambopata Wild's two-day tour costs $230, the lowest overnight price compared here, and includes a private room with hot water, full board from lunch on day one, a sunset river cruise with flashlight wildlife searching, a guided night walk and a parrot clay lick. The group caps at eight. It does not visit Sandoval Lake, that is the trade for the price and the room.
Key takeaways
- $50 cheaper than the next overnight tour, with a private bathroom and hot water
- No Sandoval Lake: book the $280 PVTravel trip if the lake is the point
- A parrot clay lick is included, which no other two-day tour at this price offers
- Group capped at eight, the smallest two-day cap here
- A cancelled core activity is refunded in full, the clearest weather clause on this page
What the One Night Covers
Day 1: into the forest, then the river at dusk
The day starts with the guided journey into the Tambopata rainforest and settles into the lodge on the river. The set piece is the sunset cruise: down the Madre de Dios as the light goes, then torches along the banks looking for capybara, caimans and sloths asleep in the riverside trees.
After dinner comes the night walk, frogs, tarantulas, snakes and night monkeys, with the guide explaining what each one is doing rather than just naming it.
Day 2: the clay lick and the trees
The second morning takes in the parrot clay lick and a rainforest walk built around trees and medicinal plants rather than a checklist of animals.
That is a different two-day tour from the Sandoval-and-canoe standard, and whether it suits you depends on what you came for. You will not paddle an oxbow lake. You will spend more time watching the river at the hours when things move.
Why It Is Cheaper, and Where the Money Went
The room is better, the itinerary is narrower
Most two-day tours at $275 to $350 put you in a basic room and drive you to Sandoval Lake. This one gives you a private room with a private bathroom and hot water, and skips the lake.
Lodge quality is where the difference shows. Several rival listings describe cold showers, generator power in the evening and a mosquito net; this one lists electricity and WiFi at the lodge, with the honest caveat that the connection is limited.
The refund clause worth reading
The listing states that if weather or river conditions force the cancellation, rescheduling or removal of a core activity, a full refund is offered. No other tour on this page commits to that in writing.
In a place where 240 to 343 mm of rain falls a month from November to March, that clause is worth real money, and it tells you something about how the operator expects to be judged.
Questions About This Two-Day Wildlife Tour
Does this tour visit Sandoval Lake?
No. It spends its time on the river, the night walk and a parrot clay lick. For the lake in two days, book the $280 PVTravel trip or the $275 IZI Peru tour.
What is the room like?
A private room with a double or twin beds, a private bathroom and hot water, in a lodge on the Tambopata River. Electricity and WiFi exist but the connection is limited.
What happens if it rains?
The itinerary may shift, and if weather or river conditions force a core activity to be dropped, the operator offers a full refund. That is stated on the listing.
How many people are on the tour?
Eight at most, the smallest cap of any two-day tour compared here.
Is the reserve entrance included?
Yes, along with full board from lunch on day one to breakfast on day two.
