Sacha is a private reserve located in the Ecuadorian Amazon Basin, accessible by plane and canoe, that offers a deep jungle program for those people who wish to view wildlife in its natural habitat and learn about the ecosystems of the Neotropics from our naturalist and native Quechua guides.
Sacha reserve comprises 1800 hectares (4500 acres), making it the largest private reserve in Ecuadorian Amazon.
How do I get to Sacha Lodge?
The journey to Sacha begins in Quito, Ecuador´s capital city, from here, a 25-minute flight takes you over the Andes Mountains’ majestic snow-covered peaks and down over 8500 feet (2600 meters) into the Amazon Region. The flight destination is the port town of Puerto Francisco de Orellana, locally known as Coca, where you will be met by a bilingual guide and taken to a private dock. Here we will pause for a snack and to use the rest rooms before boarding our covered motorized canoe for a 2-hour, 50-mile (80-kilometer) trip down the sediment-rich waters of the Napo, the largest river in Ecuadorian Amazonia.
Upon arrival to Sacha a 30 minute walk on a raised boardwalk leads to Pilchicocha lake. Here, native paddlers will meet you with dugout canoes waiting to carry you across the lake to your final destination.
