At La Balsa Restaurant, every meal is part of the Amazon experience. 🌿 Enjoy your breakfast or lunch with views of Lake Pilchicocha, while otters play in the water and the jungle comes to life all around you. #Ecuador #amazonecuador

On Biodiversity Day, we honor the wild beauty of Sacha Lodge’s reserve—home to 600 birds, monkeys, sloths, otters, anacondas and more. A sanctuary of life, and a promise to protect it.

The jungle is also a place to unwind. After exploring trails and spotting rare species, cool off in the Lake Pool and sip a cocktail surrounded by the sounds of nature. #SachaLodge #NatureLovers #JungleAdventures

Gliding silently through the narrow jungle creeks comes with a reward: spotting the hoatzin, a bird as ancient as it is mysterious. At Sacha Lodge, every paddle opens a window to the unexpected. #Ecuador

The giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) eats up to 30,000 ants/day with its 60 cm sticky tongue. Poor eyesight, but a sense of smell 40x stronger than ours. Looks calm—but its claws can tear logs or fight predators. #cameratrap #Ecuador

At Oropéndola Restaurant, dinner becomes a journey through Amazonian flavors. The paiche, one of the largest freshwater fish in the world, takes center stage in dishes that blend Amazonian tradition and creativity. Pair it with a tropical cocktail and let the jungle surprise you

Wildlife in motion A few weeks ago, our camera trap captured a large group of Tayassu pecari—including young ones—moving together through the forest. White-lipped peccaries are highly social animals and can form herds of up to 300 individuals. #cameratrap #biodiversity

In the deep greens of the rainforest, they appear like flickers of light: the Opal-crowned and Opal-rumped Tanagers shine with vibrant colors and graceful moves. At Sacha Lodge, every walk is a chance to meet unique species in their natural home.

Summer in the Amazon 🌞 Under the radiant sun and surrounded by untouched nature, Sacha Lodge’s Lake Pool is the perfect spot to refresh your body and soul.

Just 10 minutes from the Yasuní Parrot Lick, observe blue-and-yellow macaws, red-beaked macaws, and chestnut-fronted macaws in their habitat. A unique experience for those who love wildlife and nature, with every visit supporting local conservation efforts!

Unraveling the Mysteries of Sacha’s Reserve Every trail and creek in Sacha’s Reserve is steeped in intrigue. Venturing into the rainforest grants you the chance to encounter remarkable reptiles, including stealthy caimans and snakes nestled among the branches.

Paddling through the black waters of Lake Pilchicocha means seeing the rainforest from a new angle: more intimate, more real. Each stroke draws you deeper into nature’s rhythm, where silence and forest sounds speak louder than words.

An ancestral tool of precision. The blowgun, used by many Amazonian communities, was a silent and effective hunting instrument. Handcrafted from cane and tipped with curare (venomous substance from the jungle), it required skill and focus.

Did you know the nine-banded armadillo can leap vertically up to 1.5 meters when startled? This amazing defense mechanism helps it avoid predators in the dense Amazon undergrowth. Our camera traps recently caught this agile rainforest dweller on the move.

Wake up to the rainforest at your doorstep. At Sacha Lodge, our rooms with wide open windows immerse you in the heart of the Amazon. No walls between you and nature just birdsong, whispering leaves… and the occasional monkey playing in the treetops.

Discover the Amazon from within. Walk beneath towering trees, glide through silent waters, and rise above the canopy into a world alive with wonder. By day or night, Sacha Lodge invites you to explore with intention, guided by nature and rooted in connection.

5,000 acres of protected rainforest where every step reveals something new. Our private reserve, preserved for more than 30 years, is a sanctuary for biodiversity and for those who travel with purpose. Here, nature sets the pace.

The black-mantled tamarin is one of the 7 species you can see at Sacha’s Reserve. Their chirping calls help them stay in contact across the branches, and they can even recognize the alarm calls of other species a shared language of survival woven through the forest.
