Into the Heart of the Jungle
At the Quito airport, our team welcomes you and assists you with check-in. After a short flight to Coca, a motorized canoe carries you down the Napo River into the rainforest. At Sacha Lodge, enjoy a fresh Amazonian lunch and orientation with the lodge manager. That afternoon, begin your first exploration—perhaps a jungle walk, a quiet canoe ride, or rising above the treetops for your first canopy view, where you might spot white-fronted capuchin monkeys leaping through the trees, bright toucans overhead, or caimans resting by the water. Back at the lodge, a welcome cocktail and introduction talk set the tone before dinner. Guests can then choose to join an optional night walk to hear the forest’s first nocturnal sounds, or simply rest and take in the peaceful atmosphere of their new jungle surroundings.
