The Napo Wildlife Centre is one of the longest-established eco-lodges in Ecuador and for years has coupled superb comfort and facilities with some of the most amazing Amazon adventures possible - we think it's fabulous and we're sure you will too!
Sitting on the banks of the Anangucocha lake, the Napo Lodge project includes the conservation of almost 82 square miles of pristine Amazon jungle within the Yasuni National Park. Built in partnership with the local Anangu community, the Napo offers the most complete facilities of any of Ecuador's Amazon lodges, such as 24-hour electricity, on-demand hot water and large, luxurious cabins, all in the middle of one of the most bio-diverse areas on earth.
The lodge has its own 125-foot observation tower and so when you're not enjoying walks or canoe-trips through the jungle you can enjoy stunning views from the tower, or just swim in the beautiful freshwater lake.
Activities at Napo Wildlife Centre
Instead of following a fixed itinerary, every night you will be able to discuss with your guide what you'd like to do the next day. All the guides are experienced naturalists and they will be able to advise you on what can be seen where, how easy or difficult it is and then you can make a decision together! This kind of flexibility is another reason why the Napo Wildlife Centre is so popular. To have a look at some of the activities you could enjoy, take a look below:
Jungle treks
Our guides can take you for a variety of treks in the jungle, from short walks on clear trails, to deeper hikes right into the deep rainforest. Nothing beats the feeling of hacking your way through the rainforest - especially on those night treks...
Parrot clay licks
Generally agreed to be one of the highlights of staying at the Napo Wildlife Centre is a trip to see the nearby Parrot clay licks. It's an incredible sight as literally hundreds of parrots of all species descend on the exposed clay to take in the important minerals.
Canoeing trips
Our dugout canoes offer a great way of getting quietly close to some of the area's amazing wildlife, such as the 11 species of monkeys, giant otters, sloths and the elusive jaguars partrolling the banks...
Professional canopy tower
The 125-foot high canopy tower is the envy of all other jungle lodges - it's so high that on a clear day you can see right over the jungle canopy to the Andes and see the snow-capped peaks of Antisana and Cayambe. It's an incredible way to get a great view of the areas birdlife - we have listed 80 different species in a single morning!
