Napo Wildlife Center

Nature

Sustainable

Remote

Set within Yasuni National Park in Ecuador’s Amazon Basin, Napo Wildlife Center is among our favorite lodges for wildlife observation. Overlooking a tranquil, mirror-like lagoon, the lodge lies in one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth. Guests typically stay three or four nights, exploring the rainforest with expert naturalists and Kichwa guides, whose ancestors have lived in this same area for centuries.

Napo Wildlife Center does not feature a spa; however, massages and treatments are offered in tranquil lodge deck spaces. Although each room is equipped with excellent cross-ventilation (rooms feature screened walls and large openings instead of traditional glass windows) Napo Wildlife center does not have air conditioning. The rooms do not have televisions. Even though WiFi is available, the internet connection is unstable and might vary depending on weather conditions and the number of guests.

To reach Napo Wildlife Center, guests take a short land transfer to a private dock on the Napo River, a two-hour motorized canoe ride downstream, and a one and half hour shared paddle coanoe ride to the lodge.
