THE AMAZON RAIN FOREST

Welcome to the great Amazon basin, home of the greatest biodiversity in the world.

Ecuador's Amazon rain forest is one of the most spectacular natural wonders and is also home of ancient cultures and ethnic groups that live and have guarded the rainforest for centuries.

MT 301 SACHA LODGE (4 days / 3 nights)

Day 1: From Quito the journey begins taking a breathtaking flight over the eastern range of Ecuador's Andes towards to Ecuador's Jungle.

Once arriving to the town of Coca, a motorized canoe will take you down the Napo River. Upon arrival to the Sacha Lodge, a 5000-acre reserve, you will walk along a forest where you will be able to spot the wild life of the area.

Day 2: Visitors will decide the difficulty and duration of their morning outings.

The first morning you will follow some trails in the forest. For the more adventurous, it is also possible to follow a path along fallen tree trunks and a steel cable zip-line through rich swampland!

Visit a butterfly farm with Sacha Lodge. After dark, you may search for caimans.

Day 3: Visit Sacha Lodge's 135-foot observation tower, constructed around a giant kapok tree.

With some luck, noisy howler monkeys, foraging squirrel monkeys or the gentle three-toed sloth may be seen with the aid of a telescope.

After an hour excursion by canoe to visit the jungle you will have time to fish for the infamous razor-toothed piranha.

Day 4: Walk back out to the Napo River for the trip in canoe to Coca. Return to Quito.

*There is also a 5 days program (MT 302)
