Delve into a world of incredible flora and fauna at Ecuador’s renowned Sacha Lodge. Remote and unspoiled, this eco-gem has protected the magic of the Ecuadorian Amazon for more than 20 years.

village dotted with terraced hills, waterfalls, stone pathways and whitewashed adobe

casitas. If you’re on your way to the ancient citadel of Machu Picchu, staying at this luxury

hideaway is a must. Pioneered by a Peruvian ecotourism group, this sanctuary has been at the forefront of scientific and conservation efforts

since the mid-70s.
