Galapagos Islands Travel by Land

Until recently, most Galapagos Island travel was done by cruise ships and boats. 170+ years ago, Charles Darwin had no choice but to tour the Galapagos by boat. Today you do! Now we present a whole new way to experience the unique world of the islands - by land, based in beautiful, comfortable and intimate small lodges, located on several of the main islands. Here you can explore the islands in-depth, walking remote beaches, hiking trails and experiencing the very same wildlife as our cruises do. You will also tour the bays and coves with their teeming wildlife by small boat.

The Red Mangrove now has multiple lodges on multiple islands, which offer you complete land-based programs with multiple activities and programs.

Respect for the unique Galapagos environment and sustainable development is the absolute priority of our trips. In keeping with this philosophy, renovations, construction and management practices are executed or implemented with a strong focus on our ecological and social goals. Our management philosophy is a reflection of how privileged we feel to be guardians of our piece of the unique Galapagos environment.

Even if you've previously been on a Galapagos cruise, this land-based itinerary provides an even greater, extensive and affordable adventure in Galapagos Islands travel!

The Amazonian Rainforest: Sacha Lodge

Sacha Lodge is located in the midst of awe-inspiring primary rainforest two miles from one of the main tributaries in the upper Amazon River basin, the Rio Napo, on the bank of a deep, clear lake. Large networks of foot and canoe trails are available for exploration in this 3,200 acre private reserve. More than 500 species of birds are found in this primal rainforest, making it a Mecca for serious birders. A 130-foot observation tower and a 940-foot canopy walkway provide a stunning view of the rainforest and are two of the best ways to view wildlife.

Sacha Lodge is one of the newest and best Amazonian lodges on the river. It provides comfortable, screened-in huts, made with thatched roofs and local materials. All units have hot showers, toilets and running water. The food is excellent and the full bar is great place to relax at the end of an exciting day of jungle exploration and wildlife spotting. Sacha's superb, well-trained guides are both indigenous and non-indigenous, and multi-lingual. 

Sacha Lodge is an excellent add-on to one of our Galapagos cruises, or it can be booked as a great stand-alone exploration of the world's greatest rainforest..
