Discover the jungle... from the tree tops |4 and 5 days|Imagine yourself drifting down a narrow, winding creek surrounded on all sides by a lush, endless sea of tropical greenery, and all that separates you from the deep black Amazon waters is a canoe hand-carved out of a single tree trunk. This is just one of the adventures Sacha Lodge has to offer.
Primly located on the borders of the Yasuni National park, Sacha lodge’s 5000 acre (200 ha), private ecological reserve, hosts one of Ecuador’s most renowned lodges.
Featuring a 43 meter observation tower, a butterfly farm that holds over 40 species of butterflies and daily activities, this lodge is a must on your visit to Ecuador.
Sacha´s guests will be divided into groups no larger than six people. Each group will be led by a bilingual naturalist guide, and a native Quichua guide with ancestral knowledge of the rainforest. A typical day at Sacha begins at sunrise , in order to take advantage of the cool morning hours when animals are most active. In the afternoon excursions begin between 3:00 and 4:00 and often continue into the early evening, A night activity is offered every evening.
A new and much anticipated addition to Sacha's activities is our 940-foot (275-meter) long canopy walkway. At approximately 94 feet (30 meters) above the ground, imagine exploring the rainforest up in the treetops! This sturdy walkway is fixed to the ground by three metal towers for stability, and offers an unbelievable opportunity to spot dozens of animals and epiphytes seldom seen from the ground. Thousands of colorful birds await to be spotted, and with some luck you might even follow along with troops of monkeys as they forage through the forest canopy. Taking a leisurely walk above the trees on this incredible structure, to emerge even higher on the top of the towers surrounded by an endless sea of rainforest, is an experience not to be missed, and as far as we know found nowhere else in the world.
