Your journey to Sacha Lodge begins in Quito,
Ecuador´s capital city. From here, embark on a
35-minute flight over the majestic snowcapped
peaks of the Andes Mountains and then down
8,500 ft (2,600 meters) into the Amazon Basin.
Arrive at Puerto Francisco de Orellana, locally
known as Coca, you will be met by naturalist
guide and taken to Sacha´s private house, with
modern facilities, where you will be served a
quick lunch before being taken to the town
docks. We will board a larger motorized canoe for
2 hours ride down the Rio Napo to Sacha Lodge.
Once visitors arrive at Sacha they will be divided
into small groups, and the naturalist guides will
organize an itinerary to fit to each group’s
specific interests and physical abilities. A typical
day at Sacha begins at sunrise or earlier, and each
group may decide on its own wake-up and
breakfast times. In the afternoon, visits begin
between 3:00 and 4:00 and often continue into
the evening, when the nocturnal insect and frog
chorus begins. Activities are spread out over a
wide area and allow visitors to explore several
distinct but equally fascinating habitats.
Upon arrival to Sacha Lodge’s 5,000-acre private
reserve, guests will take their first walk along a
raised boardwalk through dense flooded palm
forest where several species of monkeys are
often sighted. This path leads to Pilchicocha lake,
a black water paradise where you’d least expect
to find any sign of people, but dugout canoes
(and even paddlers) await to carry you across the
lake to the Lodge. The cries of tropical birds lead
you to your final destination, which magically
materializes out of the jungle at the last possible
moment. You will arrive with time to settle in,
bird-watch, swim, or take a walk under the
canopy before dinner.
One of Sacha Lodge’s highlights is our Canopy
Walk. It is one of only a few rigid, self-standing
suspension canopy walkways in the world.
Sacha’s new addition is also one of the largest
such walkways on the planet.

Two of the three towers have observation platforms every 12 meters, making the towers accessible for everyone. The 275 meters, (900 feet) long
canopy walkway suspended at 36 meters ( 120
feet) above the forest floor. The canopy walk is
designed as a sturdy walkway enabling guests to
casually move along at their own pace while
enjoying the spectacular views.
A favorite activity of our guests is to paddle
dugout canoes along tannin-rich black-water
creeks and lakes, where luxuriant lianas, bromeliads and palm trees thrive. And wherever an
outing may lead the possibilities of spotting
animals, from the tiny pygmy marmoset to the
feared ocelot or puma, are endless.
There is also a 135-foot (43-meter) observation
tower: Situated on a hill and constructed around
a giant kapok tree for stability, this tower allows
guests to climb into and above the rainforest
canopy for a magnificent view of the surrounding area. Visit to our on-the-premises butterfly
farm is not to be missed.
For adventurous souls, the day does not necessarily end with dinner. Night walks and canoe
trips, with the aid of flashlights, often reveal creatures such as caimans (of the alligator family)
that are seldom seen during daylight.
day 7
After breakfast we will walk back out to the Napo
River along the boardwalk, where with some luck
the local wildlife may appear to see you off. The
motorized canoe will be waiting at the shore of
the Napo for the trip to Puerto Francisco de Orellana, and from here it’s a 30-minute flight back to
Quito.
