Sacha Lodge

5 Day Mon to Fri
4 Day Fri to Mon

Located on a private 3,200 acre reserve, the lodge is constructed of traditional rainforest materials and nestled well concealed into the lush surroundings. There is a raised lookout above the bar and lounge which offers a scenic vista of Pilchicocha lake. The lodge provides electricity from 4:30 AM until 10PM, by a distant and nearly inaudible generator. There are 20 thatched roof double cabins and a main dining-lounge-bar area. Each of the rooms has high thatched roofs and private shaded terraces.  Each cabin has 2 double beds and private bathrooms complete with hot water. All cabins are screened

The Yasuni Parrot Lick:
Just a short distance from the lodge is Ecuador's most accessible parrot lick, an exposed clay bank where brightly coloured parrots of several different species gather in the early morning.

The Butterfly House:
Sacha Lodge is home to one of the largest butterfly farms in Ecuador. Designed to be a live exhibition conservatory, the Butterfly House is now succesfully breeding nearly 40 local butterfly species. 

Activities:
Native guides with expert knowledge of the rainforest lead small groups on a variety of forays into the area. Activities are spread out over a wide area, and guests are allowed to determine difficulty and duration of their outings.

Several trails lead through pristine terra firme forest, where 150 foot kapok trees tower above and roots from huge buttresses to give support to the trees. Others follow strategically raised boardwalks in seasonally flooded forests and one trail even leads across fallen tree trunks and to a steel cable zip-line through rich swamplands.

Another favourite activity is to paddle dugout canoes along tannin-rich black-water creeks and lakes where luxuriant lianas, bromeliads and palm trees thrive.
