Napo Wildlife Center
Spanning nearly 2.5 million acres, Yasuní National Park is Ecuador’s largest tropical rainforest and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Nestled on the shores of a pristine jungle lake, Napo Wildlife Center offers an immersive Amazon experience surrounded by untouched rainforest. Owned and operated by the Kichwa Añangu Community, the lodge follows a sustainable ecotourism model powered by renewable energy, water treatment systems, and recycling programs. Tourism revenue directly supports local education, healthcare, and community development.
Enjoy daily guided rainforest walks and canoe excursions, with opportunities for birdwatching, hiking, and kayaking. Four canopy observation towers provide spectacular 360-degree views above the forest, where you may spot parrots, macaws, toucans, hoatzins, giant river otters, caimans, monkeys, and more than 600 bird species.
Accommodations include 12 Standard Bungalows, each featuring one king bed, one twin bed, a private bathroom, ceiling fans, and a private porch overlooking the lake. The lodge also offers eight Suites, including connecting suites for families and premium suites with a Jacuzzi, waterfall shower, panoramic glass floor, and private terrace. Additional facilities include a boutique, library, meeting room, full-service bar, and a seven-level observation tower with elevator access.
