There is no better way to experience the full grandeur of Mother Nature than visiting the mighty Amazon Rainforest, the largest rainforest on the planet, a place of superlatives and home to 10% of the world’s species. It is the Amazon that served as an inspiration to scientists for coining the term “”biodiversity””. With more than 40,000 plant species, 400 mammals, 1,300 bird species and millions of insects, it is a truly remarkable and unparalleled place.
Deep in the Amazon Basin in the eastern side of Ecuador, in the lush rainforest, located on the edge of Pilchicocha lake, you can find the stunning Sacha Lodge, a private 5,000-acre reserve where guests get to experience a true haven in the middle of nature, full of breathtaking sceneries and an abundance of wildlife. Located on the banks of the Amazon River, it boasts a spectacular view all year round. And the way it harmoniously blends into the surroundings makes it look like it’s really part of the forest.
Sacha Lodge Ecuador has been designed to keep guests’ safety and comfort in mind, and at the same time preserve the environment. The thatch-roofed cabins, with private shaded terraces equipped with hammocks, were built using traditional materials, which makes them fit perfectly into the scenery, and lends it an authentic look and feel. All 26 rooms have their own spacious bathroom, they are equipped with mosquito nets and ceiling fans.
There are fantastic leisure facilities and plenty of activities to take part in, like forest walks, canopy walks, caiman spotting, birdwatching and creek paddling, to name just some of them. Guests can satisfy their appetites at the Sacha Lodge‘s restaurant, where they can enjoy meals in a relaxed environment, including a la carte dinner that brings fine dining to the forest. At the heart of the Sacha Lodge experience is the Balsa, a covered alfresco lounge area that offers breathtaking 360-degree views over the Pilchicocha Lake.
The fully stocked bar above the restaurant is a perfect place for guests to relax and enjoy a cocktail or an ice-cold beer. There’s also a small boutique shop where visitors can get to buy the essentials and souvenirs.
