Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to get to Sacha Sisa Lodge from Quito, and what should we expect upon arrival?

We usually fly from Quito to Coca, which is the gateway to the Amazon. From Coca, Sacha Sisa Lodge arranges a boat transfer that's an adventure in itself, taking you downriver into the jungle. Be prepared for a warm, humid welcome and a refreshing drink as you step off the boat and into the lodge's embrace.

What kind of wildlife can we realistically hope to see on guided walks and boat trips from Sacha Sisa?

While wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, we've consistently been impressed by the biodiversity around Sacha Sisa. Expect to spot various monkey species, colorful toucans, and perhaps even sloths during your jungle treks. The river excursions offer excellent chances for spotting caimans and a dazzling array of birdlife.

Is Sacha Sisa Lodge suitable for families with young children, and what are the safety considerations?

Absolutely, Sacha Sisa is a fantastic choice for families. The lodge is well-equipped to handle children, and the guided activities are designed to be engaging and safe. We always recommend keeping a close eye on little ones, especially near the water, but the staff are incredibly attentive and experienced with younger guests.

What's the typical cost range for a stay at Sacha Sisa Lodge, and what's usually included?

While prices fluctuate, we find that a stay at Sacha Sisa Lodge represents excellent value for the immersive experience it offers. Typically, packages include accommodation, all meals, and guided excursions with knowledgeable naturalists. We advise checking their website for the most current rates and package details, but budget for flights to Coca separately.

Beyond the standard jungle walks, are there any unique experiences or activities we shouldn't miss at Sacha Sisa?

We absolutely love the canopy walkway at Sacha Sisa. It offers a completely different perspective of the rainforest, allowing you to walk amongst the treetops and observe life from a bird's eye view. Don't miss the chance to visit a local community if offered; it's a humbling and insightful cultural exchange.
