Day-by-Day Itinerary

Embark on Extraordinary Amazon Adventures at Sacha Lodge
Step into a world of wonder as you cross a bridge suspended above the misty rainforest canopy, gazing down at vibrant tropical birds foraging below. Ascend to the top of a towering kapok tree for a breathtaking panoramic view of the vast rainforest that stretches as far as the eye can see. Experience the thrill of flying in a basket, enjoying a hot air balloon-like adventure over the treetops. Take a refreshing dip in a black-water lagoon, home to playful otters, stealthy caimans, and the legendary piranha. Paddle through winding, lush creeks in search of monkeys, sloths, or even the elusive anaconda.

These are just a few of the exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime experiences that await you at Sacha Lodge, nestled within a pristine 5,000-acre (2,000-hectare) private ecological reserve in the Ecuadorian Amazon.
