Napo Wildlife Center, Ecuador

The Amazon Basin is famous for its wildlife, but not for its creature comforts.  At the Napo Wildlife Center, you get the best of both worlds.  Here you can see hundreds of parrots at the two parrot clay licks, Giant Otters in the lake and streams, eleven species of monkeys in the trees, and 568 species of birds in the forest.  With only ten cabanas in the enormous reserve, you can experience it all.  When your day is done you can take a hot shower, sit on your private porch overlooking the lake, have a cold beer from the bar, and enjoy a healthy international dinner.  This is the jungle in style. From start to finish, the Napo Wildlife Center combines creature comforts with incredible wildlife.  Bilingual guides explain the intricacies of the rainforest while the staff works to make your stay the trip of a lifetime.  And why wouldn’t they?  They are not only our staff, but also major stockholders of the lodge!  In addition to being the best wildlife lodge in the Amazon of Ecuador, the Napo Wildlife Center is the finest example of community-based ecotourism in the country and actively protects 82-square miles of pristine rainforest in its private reserve, based on a true conservation partnership with the local community.
