We really did not know what to expect having never been to a jungle lodge before, but the NWC exceeded even our wildest expectations. The location was simply stunning, there are really no other words to describe it. The food was wonderful, made all the more special when you consider that it takes four hours by river to get anything... more

We just stayed at the Napo Wildlife Center. It was truly outstanding -- a terrific vacation in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Our tour guide was Christian, and even though he was new at the lodge, he did a fantastic job. Our local (Indian) guide was Gabriel, and he was amazing: knowledgeable, tireless and thoughtful. Everyone on the staff was wonderful, and... more

Don't expect the Ritz-Carlton, that's not what it's about. This is about the amazing wildlife setting, the care and love for eco-tourism, learning about indigenous life, all while tasting delicious food in a beautiful, comfortable setting. Unlike other Wildlife preserves along the Napo, this is the only one that is actually in the National Park. To be able to build... more

We spent 4 nights at Napo and loved every second. Those hours spent slipping down the creek to and from the lodge - whether in daylight or under the stars are some of the most memorable of a month long stay in South America. We're really interested in birds, so took the option of hiring a bird guide - Robert... more

Napo was SPECTACULAR. It exceeded all of my expectations. The entire experience was SUCH an adventure. After a flight from quito, a couple hours on a motorized canoe, followed by a couple on a regular canoe. The remoteness and the adventure to get there made it all the better for us! Our flight was delayed on the way in so... more

We stayed at NWC from June 27-30, 2008. It was one of the most amazing experiences of our trip! We were greeted in Quito at VIP airlines by a NWC representative who got us all checked in and then a guide from the center accompanied us to the bus across Coca and to the motorized canoe. We didn't see much... more

We stayed at the Napo Wildlife Center (NWC) for three nights, arriving on a Friday and departing on a Monday. The level of service offered by NWC is on par with the finest resorts. A representative met us at the Quito airport to answer any questions we had about our trip. Upon arriving at Coca, they transferred our luggage to... more

We saw many snakes and birds. The diversity was amazing. The workers friendly. What I did not like: 1. Walking in the dark in the jungle. They did not warn us and I was petrified. The ground was uneven and full of roots: OK for daytime, but not in the dark. 2. We were expected to tip $7-10/day for the... more

I could know about this lodge few years ago in a tourism exhibition in my country (Ecuador) and I felt in love with all the tourist attractions that offer you NWC in the middle of Yasuni National Park where is located. I talk with the owners and I did all the arrangement to take the trip. When I went for... more
