Nestled on a small ridge at the edge of a jungle lake, the luxurious Napo Wildlife Center is surrounded by the Amazon rainforest. This eco-tourism project is designed for nature lovers who want to experience the Amazon's unique landscapes and observe its incredible wildlife. You'll be in the heart of Yasuni National Park, fully immersed in the region's natural beauty, with no other alternative accommodations nearby.
The private sleeping huts at Napo Wildlife Center offer an authentic Amazonian experience. These wooden and grass structures are clean and comfortable, with good beds and a front porch with a hammock for relaxation. The center is owned and operated by local Indigenous people, ensuring that your stay is both environmentally responsible and culturally enriching. Moreover, the staff, including guides Juan and Patricio, have been praised by previous kimkim travelers for their helpfulness and expertise.
One of the key reasons to stay at Napo Wildlife Center is the unique flora and fauna in the surrounding area. The center supports the local community through tourism, allowing you to contribute to their well-being while enjoying the comfort of the lodge. With its blend of nature, adventure, and luxury, Napo Wildlife Center offers a memorable experience in the center of the Amazon rainforest.
