One of Sacha Lodge's highlights is our 135-foot
(43-meter) observation tower. Situated on a hill and constructed
around a giant kapok tree for stability. This tower allows
guests to climb into and above the rainforest canopy for a
magnificent view of the surrounding area. Be it shortly
after sunrise or before sunset, from the tower's ample platform
it is possible to observe toucans, parrots, and dozens of other
colorful bird species in the treetops. With some luck,
noisy howler monkeys, foraging squirrel monkeys, or the gentle
three-toed sloth may be seen - especially with the aid of a
powerful telescope provided by your guides.

In recent years, Sacha
Lodge has become a favorite destination of both professional
and amateur ornithologists. Over 500 species of birds have
been registered in the area. From the tower
platform, our bird specialist guides have (on several occasions)
reported seeing over 80 species in a single morning!
|
The tower may be reached on
foot via a half- hour walk through terra firma forest, which is
an easy way to get there at, or before, sunrise. However,
no one can miss out on at least a one-way trip to or from the
tower along Orchid Creek. (Orchid Creek is Pilchicocha
Lake's natural black-water runoff to the Napa River.) In a
dugout canoe, guests may follow this winding stream through
untamed palm forest for an hour, a trip that many choose to
repeat.
