Nestled in the heart of Ecuador’s Amazon Basin, Sacha Lodge offers incredible access to one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth. With just over 600 species recorded in the area, it is a premier destination for birders seeking both sheer diversity and a chance at several iconic South American species. Our tour is designed to explore the mosaic of micro-habitats that make up the Upper Amazon biome- ranging from varzea and terra firme forest to oxbow lakes and both a canopy tower and canopy walkway - maximizing our chances of encountering a remarkable array of avian life.

Among the many highlights we may encounter are Harpy Eagle, Hoatzin, Agami and Zigzag Herons, Grey-winged Trumpeter, Sungrebe, Scarlet, Blue-and-yellow, Chestnut-fronted and Red-bellied Macaws, Wire-crested Thorntail, Gould’s Jewelfront, Great and Long-tailed Potoos, White-throated, Yellow-throated and Channel-billed Toucans, Many-banded and Ivory-billed Aracaris, Green-and-rufous and American Pygmy Kingfishers, Gilded and Scarlet-crowned Barbets, Coppery-chested Jacamar, Crimson-crested Woodpecker, Rusty-belted Tapaculo, Cinnamon Attila, Grey-tailed and Screaming Pihas, Golden-headed and Orange-crowned Manakins, Fiery-throated Fruiteater, Bare-necked Fruitcrow, Plum-throated and Spangled Cotingas, and an astounding diversity of antbirds, including Cocha Antshrike and Lunulated Antbird.

What our clients say about us

Dušan Brinkhuizen
JG - Ecuador 2024

Our tour leader, Dusan Brinkhuizen was top-notch. Very knowledgeable, super pleasant, friendly and attentive. Couldn’t ask for better. Our driver, Hector, was also excellent, getting us around. Knew what he was about and what he was doing. Added to the experiences. They kept us on the move to enhance our Ecuador experience--quite the place—past my expectations. Every day was an outstanding array of experiences and adventure. We all got our exercise, but it was quite manageable. Facilities and meals were very good—enjoyed the Ecuadorian cuisine. The group was also most pleasant. Fun and interesting to be with. Would very highly recommend the tour, Duson and Hector. All smiles.

CR - Ecuador 2019

I have just finished a very successful snipe day with Dusan. I got all three species I was after, which was a result of some excellent guiding by Dušan Brinkhuizen. I cannot commend him highly enough. He can fill you in on the detail but looking for an Andean Snipe in the rain and cold wind at 4300m takes some effort!  I will certainly need my rest day tomorrow.

Amanda Guercio
KK, Ecuador - Hummingbirds Adventure (Relaxed) 2026

I had a great trip! Amanda and Gabriel were awesome guides; would tour with either of them again. Both were very knowledgeable and took extra time to ensure everyone saw the birds. The locations chosen were beautiful. The only thing that could have been better was that the printed bird list did not include the expected birds for the east side. We had a number of write ins for very common birds. It was so fun to see so many types of hummingbirds.

WB, Ecuador 2018

Dušan Brinkhuizen is great bird master, very friendly and helpful. The trip was brilliant.

"Really very positive indeed. I really liked Dusan, and there was no question he was an astonishing birder. I'd love to do another tour with him."
