Napo Wildlife Center
This first class ecolodge consists of 10 comfortable cabaņas and a large dining hall with a library and a well-stocked bar. Attached to the bar is a 50-foot viewing tower from which you can see the Andes on a clear day! To get to Napo Wildlife Center (NWC), guests fly by jet from Quito to the town of Coca (officially known as Francisco de Orellana) on the Napo River.
After a short drive from the airport to the dock, we board a large, motorized, covered canoe for a scenic two-hour trip down the Napo River. Upon arrival at the entrance to the NWC Reserve, we switch to smaller, dugout canoes and paddle up the Blackwater creek to the lake and lodge (motorized transport is not allowed on the creek or lake to avoid disturbing the wildlife).
Features
The lodge itself is beautiful with its local architecture, hardwood floors and well considered amenities. Nearby blinds built at parrot clay licks bring the action to you, a 120-foot canopy tower deep in the forest allows you to experience life above the forest floor and the natural attractions are simply unmatched in Amazonian Ecuador.
Amidst utter tranquility guests become familiar with Monkeys, Parrots and Giant Otters during the day and enjoy the comfort of a hot shower and an array of culinary delights in the evening. What better way to see the rainforest than with a luxury experience that holds appeal for all the senses?
The rooms are huge (over 450 sq. ft.), scrupulously clean, and include:
- one king-sized bed and one twin-sized bed (up to 3 people)
- private bathrooms with on-demand hot water showers
- private porches with lake views
- 24-hour electricity with plenty of lights and plenty of 120v outlets
- ceiling fans and secure screens for plenty of bug-free ventilation
