Called all the most popular amazon lodges and this was the most difficult to communicate with. Nevertheless given our schedule and reviews we asked to book the available date they gave us and went on to arrange our schedule around those dates. In trying to nail down whether we needed to hire a bird guide and them never getting the... More

This lodge is beautiful, eco-friendly and comfortable. The food was delicious, both vegetarian and non-veg. It is located on a peaceful private lagoon in the heart of amazon rainforest. A truly amazing wilderness experience that feels like an authentic contribution to community development for the local indigenous Kichwa people and also an environmentally sound way to experience the wildlife. Exceeded... More

To get there takes two hours on a fast boat from Coca and then at least an hour in a hand canoed boat as motor-boats are not allowed in the national park. Finally you see the lodge across a lake and it is captivating. Everything has to come in and out this way from visitors, luggage, food and water. But... More

It's hard to know what to add about the Napo Wildlife Center that hasn't already been said. The cabinas are private, clean, well-stocked, with great beds (and even hot water in the shower!), and I don't know how you can beat relaxing in the hammock on the porch in the afternoon after an early start and a long, rewarding hike....

Similar to the other reviewers, our family and friends (total of 6, including two teenagers) had an incredible experience. The travel arrangements were excellent (although we had some delay in connecting with the Napo agent at the airport but called her on her cell phone), transfers well planned, accommodations (lodges) incredible, daily tours perfect, food diverse and plentyful (buffet), staff...

The morning I was heading downstream on the Napo River it was swollen and extraordinarily foamy due to heavy rain in the Andes. The river is wide and fast flowing, but the driver time and time again hit debris and hat to stop the 200 horsepower outboards to check for damage and take out stuff that had clogged the propellars....

It's hard to know where to start with this place! We had between here and the Sacha Lodge and we're so glad we chose the Napo Wildlife Centre. I've never bothered to write a review before, but I felt that I had to for here! The cabins were fantastic-clean and beautiful. The food was amazing too, there was plenty of... More

Our family of four (with 2 kids, ages 11 and 8) signed up for the 5 night / 4 day experience at Napo Wildlife Center. We had researched all of the available options, and we were so glad that we chose Napo. It is located within Yasuni National Park, with great hiking trails only a short distance away (by canoe)....

We've never been as sad to leave a place as we were the morning we left NWC. We had a fantastic time there. We hiked, we learned a lot, we saw 7 species of monkey, too many birds to count, some marvelously creepy insects and more besides. We spent one morning running through the jungle (quietly), chasing down a herd... More

This is by far one THE most SPECTACULAR places that we have EVER traveled to! You know you are in for a special travel vacation when you are greeted at the Coca airport by your naturalist and then spend the next 4 hours heading down the Napo River to the lodge! The first 2 hours on the river is beautiful,... More
