TRUE JUNGLE EXPERIENCE
Tucked away in the pristine rainforest of the Ecuadorian Amazon, and accessible only by boat, this wonderfully remote lodge offers its guests a true jungle experience.
Resting beside the mighty Napo River, Sacha Lodge boasts 26 cabins with tall thatched ceilings and spacious bathrooms. Each has its own shaded terrace, offering a private spot from which to kick back, listen to the sounds of the forest and observe passing wildlife. For a scenic view over Lake Pilchicocha, head to the raised lookout deck of the main lounge where you can also watch for vibrantly coloured birds.
During your stay, expert naturalists and Quichua guides will lead deep explorations of this fascinating wilderness, from canoe rides and jungle walks to insightful cultural visits to native communities. You will get to experience the reserve’s astounding biodiversity, which includes 600 different bird species, and learn about its unique ecosystems. Guests can also enjoy the lodge’s incredible canopy walkway – 275 metres long and 36 metres off the ground, it affords an unrivalled view into the rainforest.

From the first conversation to the final day of our trip, Catherine and the team were helpful, efficient and easy to reach. Their recommendations not only improved our original plans but also made the whole holiday more cost-effective. Even when we needed assistance while away, their response was immediate. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
