Why Choose Napo Wildlife Center?
GUARDIANS OF YASUNÍ NATIONAL PARK
100% community, 100% authentic: Tourism led by its true guardians.
Napo Wildlife Center is a sustainable ecotourism project fully operated by the Kichwa Añangu Community. This means your visit is not only a transformative experience for you, but also a direct contribution to the education, healthcare, and development of the local community.
Our guides, chefs, hosts, and staff are all members of the community. They will share with you their ancestral wisdom, stories, and a worldview shaped by generations living in harmony with the rainforest.
Yasuní National Park is not only home to extraordinary wildlife, but also to Indigenous communities who have lived in this region for centuries. The Kichwa Añangu Community has taken on the responsibility of protecting and preserving the forest, becoming the true guardians of this natural sanctuary.

SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
Conscious well-being in the heart of the Ecuadorian Amazon
We operate under a true sustainability model: 100% of our energy comes from solar panels, we manage our waste responsibly, use purified water efficiently, and have eliminated single-use plastics.
Every dollar you invest in your stay helps preserve Yasuní National Park, prevent deforestation, and create dignified jobs in the region. Traveling to Napo Wildlife Center means choosing tourism as a tool for positive change.
At the end of your journey, you’ll take home more than unforgettable memories—you’ll leave a legacy of conservation for one of the last great green lungs on Earth.
The best location to experience the Ecuadorian Amazon at its purest and most extraordinary
Our privileged location allows you to explore untouched ecosystems from the moment you wake up. The howler monkeys at dawn, the mist rising over the lagoon, the flight of a toucan through the trees—all of it happens just outside your room.
Yasuní is more than a destination—it’s a living spectacle. Over 600 species of birds, jaguars, giant river otters, woolly monkeys, colorful frogs, and thousands of plant species call this place home. Every excursion—whether on foot, by canoe, or from our observation towers—is a deep connection with wildlife in its most authentic and free form.
