Lake Sandoval in the Peruvian Rainforest

by Mike on December 28, 2007

At last, some video from our honeymoon in Peru.

This first installment is set in the steamy rainforest of Manú National Park. Here we explore an oxbow lake that’s home to endangered giant river otters, red howler monkeys, macaws, anacondas, point-tailed palm creepers and side-neck turtles.

In this vid you’ll see Brown Capuchin monkeys, turtles, jumping fish, tropical ducks and the Hoatzin, or stink bird, who smells like fresh poo! You’ll also meet our guide Efraine, the tallest Peruvian we saw during our three weeks there. One of the nicest and mellowest too.

We did this excursion with InkaTerra’s Reserva Amazonica. Pricey but recommended.

Here are photos from our stay in the jungle.
