Sacha Lodge, opened in 1991, is located on the Napo river about two and a half hours from Puerto Francisco de Orellana (Coca) by motor canoe. As jungle lodges go, Sacha has a slightly more academic focus than most: it boasts a butterfly farm and an ornithology research base. There is also a 135-foot canopy observation tower, built around a mighty kapok tree. Lodging is in 10 double cabins, for a maximum occupancy of 40 people. The cabins are neat and comfortable, each with private bath and screens to keep the bugs out. Sacha Lodge owns a 3,200-acre private reserve, so good animal viewing is a plus. Most guests get to see different species of monkeys in addition to some of the hundreds of species of birds. Activities include: guided hikes, caiman spotting (at night), canoe rides, swimming, night hikes, zip lines and more. Sacha Lodge is affiliated with another jungle lodge, La Casa del Suizo. They share an office in Quito, where you can get information about both lodges. Sacha Lodge sells tours and packages. Current prices for 5 days/ 4 nights: $956 single occupancy, $735 double. For 4 days/ 3 nights: $760 single occupancy, $583 double. Prices include all meals, guides, rubber boots, park fees, and transportation. Not included is the flight from Quito to Coca ($120 round trip), alcoholic beverages and tips for guides and staff.
