Guest reviews Sacha Lodge, Amazon

Amazonian birding

We spent four nights there on a birding trip to Ecuador. Ambiance was superb, as was the food and accommodation. Our guide Oskar was first class , and found us many special birds. Getting there was an adventure in itself: 1.5 hour boat trip on Napo river, then a 20 min walk, followed by a 25 min canoe trip to the lodge itself. Totally recommended

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!

We will never forget our stay here and I cannot begin to explain how amazing it was! The journey to the lodge was jaw dropping enough and then you step into your room and you’re in the jungle. So quiet, so comfortable, so relaxing. We were assigned two people as our guides Carolina and Gerry, they were both amazing and helped us see so much incredible wildlife and made our time extra special. Birds, the monkeys, sloth and insects were incredible, even the tarantulas were ok for someone who really doesn’t like spiders! The food is wonderful and all the staff so friendly and welcoming Highly recommended!

Paradise in the Amazon

We stayed for 4 nights and loved every minute of it. The staff were great and very helpful. Many excursions into the Amazon both during the day and also at night. The setting where you have breakfast, lunch and dinner is over the lake and has stunning views. You get to visit local tribes and see how they live. Highly recommend.

Special time and adventure

We had three wonderful days in the Amazon Jungle at the Sacha Lodge. It was an active experience and we saw lots of birds, monkeys, insects, caimans and a huge amount of diverse plant life. Our guide Carolina was the highlight of the trip. She was knowledgeable and very personable. She made it much more fun. The entire staff was attentive, rooms were clean and the facility was first class. The meals were outstanding. We are over seventy and were able to enjoy ourselves.

Remarkable and beautiful

I was hesitant about staying in the rain forest, but this was a trip worth the effort. Keep in mind that it takes a two hour motorized canoe ride down the Napo River, and half hour hike, and a half hour paddling canoe ride to get there. It is a private preserve with a lodge and 29 units for guests. The guides were knowledgeable and fun, and the staff equal to or better as any five star hotel. The tours through the rain forest, up the towers, and on the canoes provided unique views of the rain forest. This was a very educational and memorable experience because of the quality of the entire operation.
