The Amazon rainforest of Ecuador... one of the highest concentrations of life in our planet! Definitely a must-see for nature lovers, the Amazon Jungle offers one of the rare chances in today’s world of seeing nature in a pristine state. We offer tours where you will be involved with communities and projects that help to conserve both the environment and the culture of the indigenous nations that live in the Ecuadorian jungle.
The Amazon rainforest of Ecuador is not as remote as in other countries, mainly because of the small size of our country. A flight of 30 minutes from Quito takes us to the towns of El Coca or Lago Agrio, the last towns at the Jungle “border,” which then extends itself to the west of the continent up to Brasil! The jungle in Ecuador (and forests in general) are classified into two types: Primary forests (forests that have not had the intervention of humankind and have had enough time to develop) and secondary forests (those influenced by humankind or not old enough to have fully developed) We have a carefully selected a group of lodges, of different categories, located in the primary rainforest of Ecuador, and that allow a close encounter with this fascinating world and the different but unique animals and plants that inhabit this paradise.

A leisurely 20-minute stroll from the lodge leads you to an incredible canopy tower from which you can observe the glorious surrounding landscape. Climb to various levels of the forest and witness the astounding beauty nature has to offer.
You will be amazed at the beautiful flora you will find on the trail. Vines, ancient trees, orchids, and bromeliads make for an incomparable natural garden. We will explore the waters of the sourranding creeks where, with a little luck, you will encounter a giant otter family.
The suspended canopy walk is one of only a few in the world! Located within Sacha´s private reserve, 2 miles from the shores of the Rio Napo and 1 mile from the lodge, the bird walk grants guests the opportunity to get an up-close and personal view of the rainforest canopy. Along the walk are towers with observation decks, accessible for everyone. The canopy walkway is 36 meters high and 275 meters long, giving guests a “birds eye view” of all the wonders and beauty the tropical rainforest has to offer.
The canopy walk is designed as a sturdy walkway, enabling guests to casually stroll while enjoying the spectacular views.
At Liana Grande Trail, native guides will point out the many different species of medicinal plants that have been being used in their culture for hundreds of years. The Liana Grande trail leads to the Higueron trail, which ventures through pristine primary forest with huge kapok and fig trees towering hundreds of feet above your head.
The many parrot species of the Amazon are resplendent in their diversity of magnificent colors. Due to a highly acidic diet of fruits and seeds, they eat mineral-rich clay to aid in their digestion. A visit to the clay lick provides an unparalleled chance to view multiple parrot species at the same time. Don’t miss this incredible experience!
