WHY STAY
Napo Wildlife Centre Ecolodge, nestled deep within the Amazon Rainforest in Ecuador, is a beacon of sustainable tourism and conservation. Situated on the tranquil shores of Anangucocha Lake and surrounded by pristine rainforest, the lodge offers an immersive and responsible experience in one of the world's most biodiverse ecosystems. Guests stay in comfortable and culturally immersive cabins that blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Choose one of the sixteen luxury bungalows with private porches perfect for sunset beverages with views of Añangu Lake.
WHY WANDER
The ecolodge actively engages in the protection of the adjacent Yasuní National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, and provides support for local indigenous communities. Climb the 130 feet tall Canopy Observation Tower, where you can see infinite bird species, playful monkeys and butterflies as well as the 360 degree view of the dense jungle and the beautiful lake. Make sure to visit the clay licks to see parrots, parakeers, and macaws. Take a canoe ride over the Napo River or a guided excursion around the jungle where you may encounter giant otters, snakes, deer, monkeys, and sloths. Ponchos and rainbows are provided by the lodge.
