SACHA LODGE

• Live a once in a lifetime experience in the Amazon Rainforest in Ecuador. Sacha Lodge premium tour offers you the opportunity to be part of the astonishing Amazon forest and wildlife. Discover the unique and beautiful flora and fauna along the forest trails, rivers, creeks and lakes of the Amazonia Jungle.

• On Day 1 Pick up from your hotel in Quito and drive to the Airport to take your flight to the Amazon Rainforest. After a 30 minute flight to Coca City you will start your trip towards Sacha Lodge. From the welcoming area there on you will embark into a small paddle canoe through the Sacha Creeks that connect to the Lake, observing monkeys, giant otters, birds, anacondas and other diverse wildlife. After arriving at Sacha Lodge around lunchtime and meeting your guide – who stays with you for the entirety of your trip – you will take your first excursion into the forest. Once you have returned and had dinner, you will set out for your first night time adventure.
• A typical day at Sacha begins at sunrise or earlier, taking advantage of the cool morning hours when the rainforest’s animals are most active. Each group agrees on a wake-up time, when their guide will knock on their doors. Breakfast will begin half an hour after that. You might begin the day paddling dugout canoes along tannin-rich black-water creeks and lakes, where luxuriant lianas, orchids, bromeliads and palm trees thrive, always with the possibility of spotting animals, from the tiny pygmy marmoset to the feared ocelot or puma. Then, you could board the motorized canoe for a short ride along the Napo River to visit the Providencia Community of Yasuní, learning about their jungle way of life and testing out their cooking techniques, stopping to watch the parrot disco of the clay lick along the way.

• You will return to the Lodge in the late morning, in time for lunch. In the time between lunch and your afternoon adventure, you are free to enjoy the Lodge, lounging on sun chairs with a book on the Balsa, or cooling off in the Lake Pool. Activities begin again between 3:00pm and 4:30pm and often continue into the evening, when the nocturnal insect and frog chorus begins. An afternoon excursion might see you trekking through pristine Terra Firme forest, where 150-foot kapok trees tower above and roots form huge buttresses to give trees support, your guide pointing out the crest owl territory and calling to the howler monkeys. You could then climb 94 feet (30 meters) up to the Canopy Walk, a 940-foot (275-meter) bridge across the treetops from where you can spot dozens of animals and birds.
• Days at Sacha Lodge do not end with the fading of the light, or even with dinner. Night walks and canoe trips, with the aid of flashlights, often reveal creatures seldom seen during daylight. Caimans (of the alligator family) and giant insects rule the jungle after sunset.
• Overnight at Sacha Lodge, Double Rooms. Meals: B/L/D
