Embark on an exhilarating journey from Coca to the Napo Wildlife Center. Following a flight and a brief transfer, guests are warmly welcomed at a private dock with refreshments and a boxed lunch. A two-hour motorboat ride along the Napo River is followed by a serene canoe trip through a creek to the lodge on a lake. Along the way, spot monkeys and birds. Upon arrival, take in the breathtaking scenery of Lake Añangu, receive a welcome drink, and get briefed on hotel services before settling into comfortable jungle-view rooms.
Day 2 – Full day of activities
Begins with an early visit to the parrot clay licks, about an hour and a half away from the lodge. Guests arrive just before the morning parrot activity, where they can observe five species, including parrots, parakeets, and macaws. Following this, a trail leads to the Kichwa Interpretation Center “Kuri Muyu,” managed by local women, providing insights into Kichwa culture and opportunities to purchase local handicrafts. The excursion then proceeds to the second parrot and parakeet clay lick through the Terra Firme Forest, offering glimpses of various bird and mammal species depending on weather conditions. After lunch, guests return to the lodge via the main stream, providing more chances for wildlife observation. The day concludes with dinner at the lodge.
Day 3 – Full day of activities
Following a delightful breakfast, lodge guests embark on an exhilarating sunrise hike to the observation tower in the Napo River area. Rising 36 meters high and just 30 minutes from the lodge, this tower offers a unique view of the forest from the canopy of a Ceibo tree, allowing observation of various species such as tanagers, macaws, toucans, and monkeys. This experience provides a privileged perspective of wildlife.
After lunch, a hike through a terra firme forest awaits, offering the chance to encounter diverse fauna, including the elusive golden-mantled tamarin monkeys. Later, guests explore the lake and streams by canoe, hoping to catch sight of giant otters. The lodge boasts a second observation tower above the restaurant, offering a stunning view of the lagoon and its surroundings.
The day concludes with dinner followed by a night walk, providing opportunities to observe insects, reptiles, amphibians, and even nocturnal monkeys with the assistance of flashlights.
Day 4 – Full day of activities
This morning, we’ll venture into trails winding through terra firme and swamp forests, seeking out wildlife like golden-mantled tamarins, capuchin monkeys, sloths, and more. Following the hike, we’ll return to the eco-lodge for a delightful lunch and relaxation. In the afternoon, we’ll glide through streams in rowing canoes, offering more opportunities to spot unique wildlife. Our lodge offers a unique Amazonian experience, allowing you to immerse in regional biodiversity from the comfort of our facilities.
Day 5 – Full day of activities
Today, we venture to the Pañacocha lagoon, located on the other side of the Napo River. It promises to be a day full of fun exploring the natural wonders and wildlife of this area, and if we’re lucky, there’s a chance to see pink dolphins!
We depart from the lodge in the morning and navigate through a magnificent stream, where there is always something magical to discover. As we approach Pañacocha, on a journey that takes approximately 90 minutes, we will begin to see various Amazon jungle animals.
Upon arrival, guests will receive an orientation about the area and a boxed lunch to enjoy in the canoe or at the facilities of a nearby lodge, where guests can use the restaurant and bathrooms. In this area, we will observe the Igapó Forest, with the possibility of spotting macaws, sloths, squirrel monkeys, black-mantled titi monkeys, capuchin monkeys, anacondas, and many other species. The flora in this area includes the coral tree, palm tree, and others.
Return to Napo Wildlife Center in the afternoon, where, after enjoying a delicious dinner prepared by the chefs, a night walk will be conducted along the forest trails to discover how life in the jungle continues during the night.
Day 6– Departure day
The day starts early as we return to the welcome area for the transfer to the motorboat. We’ll cruise through the Añangu stream, enjoying the morning sounds and the tranquil dawn scenery. Then, we’ll switch to the motorized boat for the journey back to Coca. Upon arrival, we’ll check in for the return flight to Quito.
