Sani Isla Community & Sani Lagoon
Comunidad Kichwa Sani Isla
A Kichwa community on the north bank of the Napo that runs its own eco-lodge, with a blackwater lake and a bird-watching tower built into a kapok tree.
Sani Isla is a Kichwa community on the north bank of the Napo. The community runs Sani Lodge itself, using tourism income for education and forest conservation. The lodge sits beside Sani Lake, where black caimans and giant otters live. Nearby is an observation tower about 30 meters high built into a kapok tree, where you can see parrots and woodpeckers. Itineraries also include cultural exchange with the community, and from here you can visit the parrot clay lick at Añangu. The speedboat trip from Coca takes about 3 hours.
