Tres Chimbadas Lake Lodge

Visited the lake lodge with my girlfriend for four nights in April 2022. We basically had the whole lodge and lake for ourselves and the staff and we had a great introduction to the Amazon. Safe to say that the animals returned after the pandemic. We saw giant otters, tarantulas, caimans, four types of monkeys, families of capibaras, tukans and macaws, a big snake and lots of birds. Food is freshly prepared and plenty. Think of fried eggs, bread, coffee and freshly squeezed juice for breakfast, a plate of rice with chicken and a beetroot salad for lunch with a piece of cake as a finisher and another plate of fries, plantains and beef stew for dinner. If you catched some piranhas on the lake, the team is happy to fry them for dinner! The rooms have all you need with a cold shower, a flushing toilet and mosquito nets over the bed. Electricity and light is only available when the generator is on. Activities we did were a visit to a small cacao farm, a night walk to the observatory tower with sunrise views over the canopy at 40 meters, piranha fishing on the lake, clay lick visit in the morning to see parrots, canoe trips on the lake to see monkeys and otters. If you are looking for a relaxed stay a bit remote near Puerto Maldonado: this is it.
