plane to Puerto moldenado. Met our guides supplied by the lodge, Javier and Luccho. Both guides were super knowledgable, approachable and very genuine. The pace of the lodge was definfitley a change from what we had been doing so there was an adjustment time. It is much more relaxed and hammock swinging is sometimes the only activity for hours. Once I got comfortable I found it really nice to just chill with the guys and guides in our group. To get to sandoval lake lodge, preservation home of giant river otters, black Caiman and other nature guys, you have to walk through knee deep mud. Apparently some people are hesitant about the lodge for that reason but thats totally bogus. the lodge gives you boots and eventhough the mud can get deep and tricky to move in its an awesome 5K challenge. I loved it eventhough i got very dirty and more sweaty then I have ever been in my life
