Landscape of Lake Yacumama is wonderful

5.00The landscape of Lake Yacumama is wonderful, we ride in a boat led by a guide, on the tour of the lake we observe the lotus flower, aguaje trees, various birds and provide us rods to catch piranhas. We saw two alligators. It is worth taking this tour, it is close to Puerto Maldonado.
Great experience

5.00Francisco was an excellent and kind guide, even though he doesn’t speak much English at the moment. He caught a small yellow piranha and rowed me round the very unusual lake with many trees in it. He picked me up from the hotel and took me to the lake in a tuctuc.
Fascinating

5.00after several tiring day long trips with groups i wanted a break and relax and this was perfect . stunningly beautiful lake all to ourselves, se saw caiman up close and lots of birds up close and caught several piranhas (not easy to catch). best part was just chilling amidst the jurassic park beauty and sounds. if you can get Franklin as your guide get him as he was knowledgeable and patient.. tip: take a cushion or jacket to sit on and it was hit and sunny so cover up. 3 hr time went by fast.
Maravilhoso ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
