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!

. . . and the view
from the top!

 
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.
