Location
and Transportation
To get to Napo Wildlife Center, guests fly by jet from
Quito to the town of Coca on the Napo River. After a
short drive to the dock, we board a large, motorized,
covered canoe for a two-hour trip downriver. Upon
arriving at the entrance to the Napo Wildlife Center
Reserve, we transfer to smaller, dugout canoes and are
paddled up the black water creek to the lake and lodge (no
motorized transport is allowed on the creek or lake so that
wildlife isn’t disturbed). Paddling up the stream is
a great introduction to this unique area and can take
between one to two hours, as on the creek guests might see
Giant Otters, potoos, kingfishers, Hoatzins, jacamars,
hawks, and monkeys. We eat lunch en route and arrive
at the lodge by late afternoon. |
