Getting There

    Napo Wildlife Center
    After an initial 2‐hour motorboat ride from Coca down the Napo River, we arrive at
    the Napo Wildlife Center landing, entry point of the Añangu rainforests and Yasuní
    National Park. As we prepare to embark onto the paddle‐canoes (motorized transport
    is not allowed within the Añangu Reserve) taking us to the main lodge, you will be
    able to stretch your legs and maybe take the opportunity to use the restroom before
    heading downstream.

     

    Añangu Stream

     

    The Napo Wildlife Center experience really begins on Añangu’s black water stream as

    we paddle our way over what seems to look like fine black tea, inside mysterious,
    shaded rainforest, to your rooms at the lodge. This one to two‐hour ride, teeming with
    wildlife and surrounded by exuberant tropical plants, is the perfect introduction to
    Amazonia. Keep a close and quiet look out for any movement; it may be a troup of
    monkeys, a pair of raucous macaws, crazy‐looking hoatzins, or Giant Otters leading
    your canoe’s path. We also program canoe rides down other fascinating black‐water
    streams.

     

    Añangu Lake

     

    The beautiful serene waters of Añangu Lake are home to a rich array of fresh water

    wildlife: hundreds of species of fish (including piranhas, lung fish, sting rays), otters,
    aquatic birds, etc. You can take a dip and freshen up, explore the shoreline if you are
    so inclined or watch for caiman in the evenings. If this is not of your interest, it
    remains an ideal, picture‐perfect backdrop for your Amazonian adventure.
