The Napo Wildlife Center is, by far, the best lodge in
Ecuador, both in terms of the quality of the birding and wildlife experiences
and the quality of the accommodations, food, and service. Anyone who
goes to one of the other lodges on the Napo will have an inferior experience
compared to the one we had. – Victor Emanuel (President, Victor Emanuel Nature Tours) Simply marvelous. Most luxurious lodge I've been to in the Amazon basin, extremely helpful and wonderful staff, superb food, fantastic birding, incredible experience. I'll be back! – Paul Coopmans (Tour leader, BirdQuest Tours) To say that the new Napo Wildlife Center is remarkable is an understatement. Here we finally have it all: relative comfort in a stunning setting in the Amazonian wilderness; top-notch local bird guides; a well-run lodge with great food and a very attentive staff; two canopy towers to watch from; and a seemingly unlimited number of birds to look for. All of this comes in a community-based project where the obvious pride of the local people in their project makes the experience all the more memorable. – David Wolf (Tour Leader, Victor Emanuel Nature Tours) |
| The best lodge I have ever visited! Best food, best staff. Muchas gracias! – Dale To all at Napo Wildlife Center: Thank you for a wonderful experience. A true "eco" project, beautifully realized, I shall definitely be sending clients here! I have been able to relax and learn about the flora and fauna, I just wish that I could stay for longer. – Pascale What a stay! We have been fortunate enough to travel a lot, but this place is the best. The location, the lodge, and the staff are all exceptional. Every day is new and exciting. You don't have to leave the lodge. Birding from the Dining Hall tower is great, the walks and canoe trips even better. Fausto is the perfect host, and Mariano is a wonderful and patient local guide with eyes like a Harpy Eagle. – Barbara and Greg |

Thank you for an amazing trip to your lodge. This really is an ECO lodge
and an amazing concept. The excursions are so real! The staff are superb
and the rooms so comfortable. I will be suggesting Napo Wildlife Center
as the lodge that I choose in the Amazon. Thank you for your kind hospitality. – Colleen and Kellie Thank you for a wonderful experience. I arrived slightly nervous, slightly tired, and slightly scared. I leave much better informed, very well fed and rested, and far less scared! It has been a privilege to share such an incredible place with the local community. You all made us feel very welcome and have helped to give us some amazing experiences. We will take home happy memories The absence of mosquitos is a huge bonus – I suggest you highlight this in brochure and website as it is a big selling point for Europeans. Also the fresh juice was much appreciated – and inspired idea! Thank you. – Paul and Cathy We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The lodge is lovely and the service was exceptional. A wonderful ending to our 4-week stay in Ecuador. A great concept for eco-conservation and management. Hope that other organizations take up this example – in Ecuador and other parts of the world. – Marco and Joanne |
| Thanks very much for a fantastic Amazon adventure! Napo Wildlife Center
is beautiful and out excursions were not only interesting, but incredibly
informative. – Jan, Nina, and Kimberly This is a perfect example of true "eco-tourism" working for the forest and the community. – Bob and Susanne Outstanding experience. We are birders and Jiovanny is the best. His knowledge and patience are phenomenal. Oscar, Jiovanny, and Hugo were a great team. Cabin was more than adequate. Setting beautiful, food very good. Excellent service all around. All people associated with lodge were helpful and courteous. – Sharon and Tom A great experience – food, rooms, service, and most of all the guides are outstanding! The concept of community involvement in the tourism is great – we hope it thrives. – Karen and Robert A fantastic place! We wish you good luck. Many people will find this treasure in the future. – Panos and Cheryl |
