Napo Wildlife Centre

A fantastic experience. It exceeded our expectations and we were very lucky to have dry weather.

Absolutely outstanding place, fantastic guide (Remi), amazing wildlife, great food. Really sorry to leave. Very interesting to learn more about the community, although our main interest was seeing the wildlife - birds, monkeys, snakes, sloths. Really memorable experience being there. 

The journey to the centre is part of the whole experience,along the wide river Napo, and then transferring to the small canoe with your guide for the trip up the creek to the centre. Our guide, Rene knew the area really well and has had a long involvement with the centre. The buildings all use local woods in most creative and attractive ways. Rooms comfortable and the beds have good mosquito nets, but the little blighters still managed to eat us occasionally. Good food and a variety of interesting trips. lots of birds, river otters, anaconda, caiman, tamarind monkeys......  And the visit to the community village. The main building leads up to forest views.

An amazing place doing a great thing for nature and Ecuador

A lovely place but 3 nights was perfect. Very hot and humid so maybe not for everyone. Lovely staff but quite a shlep to get to though part of the trip is great fun in a canoe.

"Napo was a total highlight and is worthy of more promotion.”

"Totally Awesome. The forest and the guides are the stars. Their knowledge of the forest and their ability to spot the wildlife is second to none. Tithe huts are luxurious and the buffets were tasty. The community partnership and the conservation of the forest are key to the future of this gem. The canopy tower is a true highlight. World class."

"Swimming with sea lions and masses of turtles. The whole of Napo excellent with our great guide Robbie. Wished we could have had another day. Really excellent guide. Food fantastic.”

“They were well-equipped - with rain ponchos, rubber boots etc. Our guide (Lena) was excellent - a knowledgeable naturalist, and excellent social skills.”

"The location was mindblowing and the attention of the staff was fantastic. Our guide Juan had absolutely incredible wildlife and "general" rainforest knowledge, plus a really interesting background.  It all added to the experience."
