Maloka Sandoval Lodge

*NOT SAFE! ESPECIALLY FOR SOLO TRAVELERS. ESPECIALLY FOR FEMALE TRAVELERS. I WAS HARASSED FOR 4 DSYS BY THE GUIDE WHO ALSO GOT DRUNK AND ALMOST SLEPT THROUGH ONE TOUR, FOUGHT WITH A GUEST AND LEFT US ALONE IN THE FOREST BECAUSE HE GOT MAD. THERE IS NO FIRST AID KIT ON SIGHT. THE GUIDE TAKES ZERO SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, HAS NO FIRST AID TRAINING. WE ARE LUCKY WE ARE ALIVE AND UNHARMED. PAY MORE FOR A BETTER TOUR.* First, I didn't even know this was the lodge I was staying at. I thought I'd booked with Sandoval Lake Lodge. I think Edgar, the guy who sold me the tour, maybe sent me thr wrong info on purpose. There was no organization, poor communication between sales and operations. They bring you from the airport to the house of Senora Carmen, not even an office. No one speaks English. Our guide, Elmer, began the tour by asking a couple in my group if the guy liked looking at other women or if he had girlfriends on the side right in front of his wife. This was how it began. The lodge is in a beautiful location. The rooms and lodge is very basic but was clean and comfortable. The staff onsite were kind and respectful. Unfortunately, our guide was terrible. There were no safety precautions taken. He knew only the most basic details about the area, so mainly he served to taxi us around by boat and lead hikes pointing at animals and saying the name without further explanation. He was more interested in asking me about what kind of man I'd want to date, offering to impregnate me if I wanted a child, telling me he had 5 or 6 girlfriends who he'd impregnated and left to care for the children...he was relentless. The saving grace is that the rainforest is beautiful and the other guests I traveled with were so kind and helpful. I was supposed to stay an extra day, but I feared that if I stayed an extra day, something bad would happen. I was to be the only guest, a woman from another country with all men onsite and one who was constantly flirting and making sexual innuendo. I have traveled in Peru, lived here for a year and have Unfortunately experienced this kind of behavior many times, but given how dependent you are on a guide in the Amazon, this was bad. When one guest confronted the guide about the fact that he was still drunk from the night before during a tour we woke at 4:30am for, the guide said our tour was over and left us in the forest. Luckily, we had a marked trail back to the boat. But if we had been somewhere else, this could have been very dangerous. On arrival at the lodge, I had to borrow the guide phone, very bad, almost no service or way to connect to outside world in this location. I spoke with Edgar and he said they would send a new guide, but they did not and we continued with Elmer. When the tour ended, I asked for a refund for my last day and reported the bad behavior. Senora Carmen laughed at my complaints and lied that they sent extra "provisions" for my last day. This was not true...neither Edgar who sold the tour nor Elmer were awa
