Tips for your visit to Yasuní National Park
Use sunscreen and insect repellent
The sun and insects are present all year round. Apply a biodegradable sunscreen, even on cloudy days. Also, use an eco-friendly repellent to prevent mosquito and other insect bites.
Wear the right clothing
The climate in the Ecuadorian Amazon is warm and humid, so we recommend wearing lightweight, long-sleeved, quick-drying clothing in neutral colors to avoid attracting insects.
Take advantage of the guides' knowledge
They will teach you how to identify jungle sounds, track animals, and understand the delicate balance of the ecosystem.
Relax and disconnect from the world
Take this opportunity to unplug from daily stress, listen to the sounds of nature, and enjoy the comfort of our lodge in the heart of the Ecuadorian Amazon.
Stay hydrated at all times
At Napo Wildlife Center, you will have access to safe drinking water, so bring your own reusable bottle to stay hydrated during excursions while reducing plastic waste.
Nights can be cooler
For night excursions or relaxing in your cabin, a light jacket or sweatshirt will be enough to keep you warm.
