Luxury
- Napo Wildlife Center
Napo
Wildlife Center
The most luxurious lodge in Ecuador's Amazon.
The lodge consists of 10 luxury cabañas
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, 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
arriving at the entrance to the NWC Reserve, we
switch to smaller, dugout canoes and are paddled
up the blackwater creek to the lake and lodge
(no motorized transport is allowed on the creek
or lake so that wildlife isn't disturbed).
