Wildlife Around You
At Sabalo Lodge, wildlife is not something you search for — it finds you. Day and night, animals move freely between the jungle and the lodge. Some stay hidden, others appear just a few steps from your cabin or tent. These videos are real moments captured by our cameras and guests. No staging, no guarantees — just the jungle as it truly is.
Scarlet macaw (Ara macao) - Macaws above Casa Lapa
Macaws visit Sabalo Lodge regularly, often in large groups. They feed in the tree above Casa Lapa or in the area between the restaurant and the water channel leading to our dock. They are relatively calm and can be observed up close, but for good photos a camera with a strong zoom is recommended.
The scarlet macaw is one of the most iconic birds of the tropical rainforest. With its bright red, yellow and blue feathers and loud calls, it is almost impossible to miss. These intelligent and social birds usually move in pairs or small groups and often return to the same trees to feed and rest. At Sabalo Lodge, they are a daily part of life and one of the most unforgettable sights.
Where: Tree above the pool and Casa Lapa
Tip: Look for them mainly in the trees above Casa Lapa, or in the trees on the left side of the path leading from Casa Mono to the dock. Early morning and late afternoon are the best times, when they are most active and noisy.
