Transfer then to the port for a two-hour trip by motorized canoe down the Napo River to the Sacha Lodge terminus. Walk along a 1 km boardwalk to reach an oxbow lake where staff from Sacha Lodge await with canoes. You are paddled across the lake to the lodge. After orientation, you'll take a short walk into the rainforest. Most of your days will be spent in the forest.
Mornings start early.
Not only is it cooler at this hour, but animal and bird activity is at its peak. Return to the lodge for lunch with ample time after for a swim and an afternoon siesta before hitting the trails again. The trails vary in length from an hour to a full day, and there is enough variety for all abilities and interests. All walks are accompanied by a staff person. Day 18 Sacha Lodge-Quito .
