Coca, Orellana, Ecuador
Official star rating:
Sacha sits on the edge of extensive lowland rainforest adjacent to the 112-hectare Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve, overlooking Pilchicocha – a beautiful black-water lake connected by backwaters to the Rio Napo, Ecuador’s principal Amazon tributary.
With plantations a few kilometres away, the lodge is not heart-of-the-wild. But few rainforest stays come with more comfort. Rooms are decked out in warm woods and come with quality linens, en suites and balconies with rainforest views.
The food, wildlife guiding (especially for birds) and overall services are excellent; the lodge has its own canopy walkway, and offers seamless rainforest and Galapagos cruise packages.
