Hotel overview
Set on the shores of Lake Añangucocha a short distance south of the Napo River, the Napo Wildlife Center is a joint project between the local Quechua Añangu community and a US-based NGO. Accommodation is some of the best in the Ecuadorian Amazon but remains rustic in character. The lodge is a particularly good choice for ornithologists – over 550 species of bird have been spotted in this 88-acre complex, and it is home to two of Ecuador’s most accessible parrot clay licks, where 8 to 10 species of parrot are commonly seen in their thousands. 11 species of monkey are also present, as are jaguars, pumas, tapirs, caimans, and macaws. There is also a 120-foot-high canopy platform from which guests can appreciate the wildlife of the area at the tree-top level.
