Clustered in a remote dark water lagoon, our Lodge awaits for you. The first step in your trip to the jungle is getting to Coca. There are two options to get to Coca:

Air transport

Your plane leaves from Quito's airport (Local Departure) at 11:00 am. (flight time subject to change). A bilingual host will meet you in the Quito airport and present a short introduction and orientation to the area.  The host will help you with passport, baggage, and travel details. You will proceed to Coca, a short 30-minute flight from Quito.

At your return from Sani your guide will take you to the airport on time to check in and take your flight back to Quito. We book flights.

Bus transport

A bus from "Trans Esmeraldas" leaves from the bus station in Quito, (which is located at Santa Maria Street and 9 de Octubre), at 9 p.m. (of day before your trip starts). The trip lasts about 9 hours. Your guide would meet you at El Auca hotel in Coca at 12:00 .
To come back the bus leaves Coca at 8pm.

Once in Coca

You will be met by an English speaking, naturalist guide and shuttled from the airport to a waiting motorized canoe at the edge of the Napo River. Your jungle experience begins as the guide explains some of the natural history of the area and introduces you to the ecological characteristics of the river.  During your float down the Napo River, enjoy a light lunch and the opportunity to observe the unique flora and fauna of the area. We will travel down this river for about 3 hours before arriving to a small stream called Challuayacu where we will transfer to dugout canoes and paddle into our lake, the Challuacocha, and right up to Sani Lodge.  This is the only way to access this remote and magical place, there are no roads in the area.
