Even though there hasn't been any case of yellow fever in Ecuador in the last 20 years, the local authorities are taking steps to ensure that no outbreaks occur in this sensitive region. All travellers should be vaccinated against yellow fever at least 10 days before the start of the tour. Sacha Lodge The lodge at Sacha has been designed to offer comfort to the traveller yet preserve the environment and rainforest ambience. Each of the ten double cabins, with high thatched roofs and private shaded terraces, is constructed with traditional materials and nestles well concealed in the lush surroundings. Electricity is provided 24 hours a day by a distant, barely-audible generator. All cabins are screened against insects and contain two comfortable double beds with private, modern bathrooms and hot showers. Sacha Lodge has an excellent bar and restaurant, providing international quality meals. Guests may use free time to enjoy a raised lookout above the bar and lounge, which offers a scenic view of Pilchicocha Lake and excellent opportunities to bird-watch. Flights The flights from Quito to Coca are charter flights using two different airlines, and departure times may vary. The airplanes are normally 19-seat Beechcraft (1900), and both the planes and pilots are FAA-certified in the U.S. Laundry Sacha Lodge provides a laundry service (washing and drying), at an additional cost. Bar Drinks are not included in your package, and may be paid on the last night of your stay in cash (U.S. dollars), travellers' cheques or credit card (Visa, MasterCard or American Express). The minimum charge for credit cards is $US20. Drinking Water All the drinking water provided at Sacha (including ice) comes from a local well and is treated with porcelain filters, one of the most thorough filtering systems available. This water is tested regularly and has proven perfectly safe for human consumption. If you prefer, however, you may purchase bottled water from the bar. Meal Requirements The chef will be more than happy to prepare vegetarian meals for you upon request. On booking, please make sure to advise us or your travel agent of any dietary restrictions or allergies you may have, and also let the staff at Sacha know as soon as you arrive. Photography High-speed film (if you are still using a film camera) and a flash for cameras are recommended for shady walks under the forest canopy. However, slower film is fine for photos on rivers, lakes, and the tower and around the lodge
