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-nosed coati - Night Explorers: Chip 'n' Dale on the Trail to the Jungle
Our most famous animal neighbors, the coatis Chip 'n' Dale, are back in action! In this trail cam footage, you can see these tireless explorers confidently crossing the bridge that marks the boundary of our 'red zone.' From there, their path leads directly to our marked rainforest trail, taking guests into the heart of the untouched jungle. At Sabalo Lodge, wilderness begins right at your doorstep – you just have to look closely (or set up a trail cam like us!).
The coati is a small, very active animal from the raccoon family that lives in Central and South America. It has a long, flexible snout that it uses to search for food, and it eats fruit, insects, and small animals. Females live in groups, while males are more solitary, and in the wild it helps spread seeds and control insect populations.

Tip: At Sabalo Lodge, coatis can be found on rainforest trails as well as near residential areas. Sometimes they can even be spotted directly on the path to the dock.
