Sacha Lodge

Head into the rainforest to gain elevated perspectives above the forest floor. Using a series of structures, you’ll climb observation towers and walk along canopy pathways positioned several metres above ground. From these platforms, you’ll look across layers of trees and watch birds, insects and primates moving through the canopy. Guides explain how light, height and plant types shape life at different levels.

Access is controlled and safety focused, with clear briefings before each ascent. The experience gives you a better sense of scale, structure and daily activity in the rainforest, seen from positions rarely reached on foot below by visitors during daylight hours.

Travel by boat into Yasuní National Park for a guided day focused on wildlife and people. The route follows river channels before stopping at key sites, including the Macaw Tree and the Yasuní Parrot Lick, where birds gather at set times. Guides explain behaviour, seasonal patterns and park protection as you watch and listen.

The visit also includes time with the Nueva Providencia community, offering context on daily life and local knowledge. Distances are covered partly by boat and partly on foot, with clear briefings and pacing suited to mixed groups. The experience combines river travel, observation and cultural context beyond the lodge nearby.

Visit the Macaw Tree, a long-established conservation site dedicated to blue and yellow macaws. From a designated observation point, you’ll watch the birds arrive, perch and feed high in the canopy. Guides explain behaviour, nesting habits and how long-term monitoring supports protection of breeding areas. Time is set aside for photography, with clear guidance to avoid disturbance. Visits are planned around periods of higher activity, so observation and patience are key.

Your participation contributes directly to conservation work and local stewardship. The experience focuses on responsible wildlife viewing, helping you understand how targeted projects support macaw populations while keeping human impact controlled and minimal within the surrounding forest.
