Galapagos Packages > Galapagos &Amazon Tours

Combine and explore two of Ecuador's natural wonders: the Amazon jungle rain forest and the Galapagos Islands. In the Amazon Basin you'll witness a complex ecosystem and where the layers of dense vegetation harbor a truly mind-boggling number of species. (Ecuador has over 1,450 species of birds, many of which exist nowhere else.) Accommodations are at Selva Lodge, Kapawi Lodge or Sacha Lodge, some of the newest jungle lodges in Ecuador.

The Amazon rainforest, where perceptions and the sounds of NATURE will fill your every sense; an incredible journey, a surprising adventure traversing an ocean of green that is brought to life with every footstep. Megadiversity at its very best. Unleash your vibrant energy spurred by divine nature. A fragment of unexplored paths for those who love life, search for adventure, are sensitive to the never seen and have an eye for color and beauty.

Two of our most popular Amazon options are:

Sacha Lodge

Dates:
Extra canoe charges may apply for non-operational days (operational days are Monday and Friday) for groups of less than 4 people. Please contact us for details.

The journey to Sacha Lodge begins in Quito, Ecuador's capital city. From here, a 25-minute flight takes you over the Andes Mountains' majestic snow-covered peaks and down over 8500 feet (2600 meters) into the Amazon Region. The flight destination is the port town of Puerto Francisco de Orellana, locally known as Coca, where you will be met by a bilingual guide and taken to a private dock. Here we will pause for a snack and to use the rest rooms before boarding our covered motorized canoe for a 2-hour, 50-mile (80-kilometer) trip down the sediment-rich waters of the Napo, the largest river in Ecuadorian Amazonia.
During the ride it is easy to spot handsome shore birds such as herons, kingfishers, spoonbills and ospreys between the scattered native huts as you travel steadily away from civilization. Upon arrival to Sacha Lodge's 5000-acre (2000-hectare) private reserve, our guests will take their first walk along a raised boardwalk through dense flooded palm forest where several species of monkeys are often sighted. But don't worry... we will carry your luggage for you!
The path leads to Pilchicocha lake, a blackwater paradise where you'd least expect to find any sign of people, but dugout canoes (and even paddlers) await to carry you even farther. As you cross the lake, the cries of tropical birds lead you to your final destination and home base for an exciting jungle experience.
