As it turns out, the area where Sacha Lodge is located is one of the most biodiverse areas in the entire Amazon basin. In short, it doesn't get much more "Amazon" than Sacha Lodge! The hard part about your visit was going from Galapagos, where you literally trip over the animals, to the jungle, where the animals are far more difficult to see. It is easy to see why this difference exists... Galapagos has few predators... Amazonian forests have thousands of predators. One nit pick - you were on as real a part of the Amazon as it comes!!
