Experiences

• Canoeing

  Explore this tributary of the Amazon by paddling through the calm waters of the Añangu lake and the tributaries of the Napo River. This is a great opportunity to observe the diverse flora and fauna of the region, including monkeys, parrots, toucans, and macaws. It’s an incredibly peaceful and relaxing experience as you watch life on the riverbank glide by.

• Community

  The Napo Wildlife Centre is located within the ancestral territory of the Kichwa Añangu people. It’s important to interact with their community while you are here and learn about their traditional way of life. The Interpretative Centre allows you to learn about these customs in a meaningful and authentic environment as you discover their hunting techniques, medicinal plant use, and the creation of artisanal crafts.

• Birdwatching

  With over 600 species of birds in the Yasuni National Park, birdwatching is a must-do activity for everyone visiting the Napo Wildlife Centre. Spot unique species such as the Harpy Eagle, Hoatzin, and Oilbird, among many others. The Napo Wildlife Centre's guides are experienced birdwatchers and will help guests identify the different species.

• Parrot Licks

  Parrots are arguably some of the most visually stunning birds in the world. The Napo Wildlife Centre is conveniently located within easy reach of one of the most active natural clay licks in the region, where birds gather to feed on these important minerals.

• Canopy Tower

  The Canopy Tower is a 36-meter-high structure located on the Napo Reserve. The views of the surrounding rainforest from above are with every step of the climb. You’ll take a guided hike through the jungle to reach the tower, putting biodiversity from below and above into context.
