Introduction
Sacha Lodge is a legendary destination for the wildlife enthusiast. With ancient black-water lagoons, winding creeks and towering trees on all sides, Sacha would seem the least likely place to find any sign of human beings; yet visitors here may rediscover the wonders of this unique paradise where very few have stepped before.
Scientists estimate that nearly half of the species living on our planet--insects, plants, and animals--dwell in the rainforests. Unfortunately, these tropical forests are disappearing worldwide at such a rapid rate that only a few remnants are expected to last through the next century. Your visit to the rainforest here at Sacha Lodge is an endorsement for protection and conservation of this vital and precious part of the earth's natural heritage.
The lodging at Sacha was carefully designed to offer comfort to the traveler yet preserve the environment and rainforest ambience. Each of our 10 double cabins, with high thatched roofs and private shaded terraces, is constructed with traditional materials and nestles well concealed in the lush surroundings.
Guests may use free time to enjoy a raised lookout above our bar and lounge, which offers a scenic view of Pilchicocha Lake and excellent opportunities to birdwatch.
Features
Staff: We take pride in our friendly staff, who are always available to cater any special needs you may have. On average, there are three staff members on duty for every two guests at the lodge.
Electricity: Throughout the Lodge, 24-hour electricity is provided by a distant, nearly inaudible generator.
Drinking water: All the drinking water provided at Sacha (including ice) comes from a local well and is purified with both porcelain filters and ozone treatment, the most thorough purifying systems available. This water is tested regularly and has proven perfectly safe for human consumption. If you prefer, however, you may purchase bottled water from the bar.
Amenities: In your shower you will find dispensers of biodegradable soap and shampoo. Although all runoff water is treated with ozone, we recommend the use of these amenities as an extra measure to protect the environment. You will also be provided with fresh towels each day.
Laundry: Sacha Lodge now provides laundry service (washing and drying) for our guests. Please consult costs with our lodge administrator.
Boots and ponchos: Rubber boots and rain ponchos are available for all of our guests at the Lodge, free of charge!
Communications: In case of emergency, both cellular telephone (BellSouth) and radio communications are available from the lodge. In addition, each of our guides maintains permanent radio contact with the lodge during all excursions and activities.
First Aid: We keep a complete first aid kit for any minor injuries or ailments you may experience. However, please take any special medications you might need with you. In case of a serious injury or illness, there is a modern medical center located in 20-minute reach of Sacha Lodge.
Security: At all times we have five staff members on duty patrolling of our reserve as park rangers to keep both the lodge and the surrounding environment safe.
Bar: Drinks are not included in your package, and may be paid on the last night of your stay in cash (U.S. dollars), travelers checks or credit card (Visa, MasterCard or American Express). There is no minimum charge for credit card payments
