The Amazon’s Only Canopy Exploration Crane
Rise 45 meters (150 feet) above the rainforest and drift through treetops in a basket that reveals the amazon’s hidden world*Temporarily unavailable due to scheduled maintenance*
A silent basket lifts you gently into the canopy, rotating 360 degrees across 2 acres (0.8 hectares) of living forest. From this height, the rainforest is no longer scenery—it's alive around you. Monkeys leap from branch to branch, macaws flash in the sunlight, orchids bloom from bark, and if you’re lucky, a sloth lazes at eye level.
The Canopy Crane is unique to Sacha Lodge and one of the few in the world. It offers the chance to float in stillness while 60% to 90% of Amazon life unfolds around you. Accessible only after a canoe ride across the evocatively named Anaconda Creek, the journey is as much a discovery as the destination.
