Sacha LodgeThe breakfast at Casa Aliso was AMAZING. Homemade yogurt, wonderful omelets, delicious Ecuadorian coffee, fresh fruit and juice got us off on the right foot.
We took a stroll around the neighborhood and then had a short flight to Coca, which is located at the junction of the Coca and Napo rivers, where we were picked up by Sacha Lodge staffers and transferred to a motorized canoe with the rest of the Sacha Lodge guests. The 2 hour trip down the Napo River was very exciting. We saw herons, kingfishers, spoonbills and ospreys on the river.
We eventually arrived at the trail head to Sacha Lodge, and were immediately greeted by 25-40 Squirrel Monkeys playing follow the leader! After a short hike, we jumped in dugout canoes which navigated narrow canals before entering the amazing lagoon around which Sacha Lodge is built.
We were welcomed with snacks and a tasty alcoholic beverage, before meeting our naturalist, being broken into small groups based on language and seeing our rooms.
It is so easy to book trips, the staff is very friendly and helpful and they respond to any and all questions

Mary was super helpful and patient. Answered every question and with candor (answers of “Everything’s equally great” aren’t helpful! 😎).

The trip planner I worked with, Jane, was excellent. She had travelled to Antarctica twice and was the voice of experience as she explained travel options to me. I've travelled internationally for many years for many years for business and pleasure including a number of adventure trips. It is a delight to work with such an experienced planner. I've used Adventure Life for three trips, Costa Rica, Galapagos and upcoming, Antarctica. I highly recommend them.

Clara was great to work with. She presented lots of options and always responded promptly. And she found excellent options within our price range.
