Audio-video of the Ecuadorian Amazon
Sensation Tour offers two excellent destinies in the Ecuadorian Amazon:
House of the Swiss Hotel, and
Sacha Lodge
If you wish to include these places as a part of your Sensations Tour, we can design an itinerary according to the excursions that you choose and to the time you determine.
J1 Amazonic Snsation HCS - The activities in the Hotel Casa del Suizo (House of the Swiss Hotel) do not have time limit and they include:
• Long walk through primary and secondary forests where you will be able to see closely the vegetation, birds and insects that maintain in balance the forest. You can touch the trees and balance yourself in jungle lianas.
• After the long walks, nothing else more refreshing than a bath in the river (Arajuno or Rodriguez) that will mitigate the ardent Amazon heat.
• For those who have an explorer spirit, the return to the hotel can be made in rafts constructed by the tourists under the instructions of a native professional guide.
• VVisit a native family who will show you aspects of their important culture, its way of subsistence including their hunting with blowpipe, its ceramics and the elaboration of “chicha”, their famous ancestral beverage.
• When possible and if the river allows it, you will be able to see how a native obtains gold from its water.

J2 Amazonic Sensation SL - The activities in Sacha Lodge (4 días/3 nights) include:• Bath in Pilchiococha, a black water lake of the Amazon (the color of the lake - not of the water- is because of a dark alga that grows in the lake).
• SStroll through the top of the trees in a fantastic suspended bridge over the forest. From here you can have an exclusive bird watch.
• Visit to the “mariposario” an enclosed place where you will have the amazing experience of observing a wide range of alive butterflies accompanied by a specialized guide.
• Walk into the forest to experience the jungle night activity.
• Long walk into the forest towards places where you will know medicinal plants used by civilizations during thousands of years. The activity is guided by native people who will also show you their interaction with the forest, its culture and its beliefs. If you want you can even swing in the lianas that exist across the paths.
• Long walk through primary forest among enormous ancient trees. In some places the capuchino monkey can be seen jumping between trees.
• The strolls in canoe through the wide Napo River, in calm marshes where caymans, capibaras and anacondas inhabit, or if you prefer the stroll can go to Leoncillo where the singular titi monkey can be seen. This is the favorite experience of most tourists who go to this part of the Amazon.
• Fishing of piranhas.
Sometimes lunch could take place in the middle of the forest surrounded by the song of hundreds of birds.
