SACHA LODGE
The Lodge is so seamlessly blended into the wildlife environment that it is just another part of the forest. Watch as the giant otters dive and call to each other while you eat breakfast and when you return to your room, watch the alligators slide under the platforms. Listen to the monkeys chattering outside your balcony; and even the giant sloths that hang out in the trees by the cabins.
The accommodation in Sacha combines the highest comfort for the traveler with the preservation of the environment and the habitat of the rainforest. With high thatched roofs and private shaded terraces with hammocks, all of our cabins are built with traditional materials, subtly immersed in the lush surroundings. Each of the 26 cabins, which include singles, doubles, three family cabins and (on request) triple accommodations, offer a spacious private bathroom with a hot water shower. Some of which even feature floor to ceiling windows for an immersive jungle shower experience! All cabins are screened against insects and contain ceiling fans above the comfortable beds.

VIEW GALLERYPROGRAM
4 DAYS / 3 NIGHTS
Immerse yourself in jungle life with our four-day, three-night adventure. Walks through the forest, observation of alligators and the walk on the unique Suspension Bridge of its kind. They are the essentials of the expedition, although we recommend at least four nights to take advantage of our off-site activities, such as the enriching Community Gathering.

*Longer itineraries available.
After arriving at Sacha Lodge around lunchtime and meeting your guide – who will stay with you for the entirety of your trip. You will take your first excursion in the forest. Once you have eaten, you will set off in search of your first adventure of the night: watch snakes in the jungle, or go canoeing among alligators in the lagoon.
A typical day in Sacha begins at dawn or earlier, in order to take advantage of the cool morning hours as this is when the jungle animals are most active.
Each group agrees on a time to wake up and that is when the guide will knock on your door for a wake-up call! Breakfast will start half an hour after that. Wherever the destination may be, our tours move slowly as our guides point out the fascinating details around you.
You can start the day paddling canoes along tannin-rich blackwater streams and lagoons, where lianas, orchids, bromeliads and palm trees abound. There is always the possibility of spotting animals, from the little pygmy sago to the dreaded ocelot or cougar. You could then board the motorized canoe for a short ride along the Napo River to visit the Providencia community of Yasuní, learning about their way of life in the jungle, trying out their cooking techniques, and stopping along the way to see the clay lick of parrots.
You will return to the Lodge late in the morning, in time for lunch at 1 pm. In the time between lunch and your afternoon adventure, you are free to enjoy the Lodge, lounging on sun loungers with a book on the Raft, or cool off in the lagoon pool. Activities begin between 3:00 PM and 4:30 PM and often continue into the afternoon, when the nightly outburst of insects and frogs begins. An afternoon excursion where you might see through pristine terra firme forest, where 150-foot kapok trees tower above and the roots form great buttresses to support the trees, your guide will point out the owl's territory. crest and will call howler monkeys. You can then climb thirty-three meters (30 feet) for the Hanging Bridge walk, a 940-foot (275-meter) bridge through the treetops from where dozens of animals and birds can be spotted.
The days at Sacha Lodge don't end with the fading of the light, or even with dinner. At night walks and canoe rides, with the help of flashlights, often reveal creatures rarely seen during daylight. Alligators (of the crocodile family) and giant insects rule the jungle after sunset… Do you dare to look for them?
*Attention: activities are subject to weather. Walks through the forest, the Torre del Ceibo and the walk on the Hanging Bridge are the cornerstones of the Sacha Lodge experience.
