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.
White-faced capuchin monkey - At the restaurant
The white-faced capuchin monkey is one of the most intelligent and curious animals of the rainforest. These social monkeys move through the treetops in groups, constantly communicating, playing, and searching for food. They are fast, observant, and often surprisingly close to people. At Sabalo Lodge, they are part of daily life and one of the most entertaining animals to watch.
Tip: Look up into the treetops — capuchins move high above the ground across the entire forest. In the living area of Sabalo Lodge, they are most often seen in the trees above the entrance gate and also below Casa AraCari, in the direction of the stream. There is also a feeding spot near the restaurant where we leave banana leftovers, and capuchins often come for them. If you hear something hitting the metal roof, it is usually them — they sometimes do the same near the dock.
