Hightlights of Amazon Napo Wildlife Center Lodge
- The Napo Wildlife Centre is a luxury eco-lodge boasting an amazing location inside Yasuni National Park, the most biodiverse ecosystem on the planet, and a protected UNESCO biosphere site. Yasuni was also recommended by National Geographic as one of the top places in the world to visit in 2022!
- In just one Yasuni hectare, one can find more species of organisms than in the entire European continent! The national park is home to a third of all Amazonian mammals, including a staggering 60% of all New World wild cats, 106 reptiles, and 610 species of bird; as well as more than 4000 species of plants.
- The concept and construction of the lodge are the brainchild of the Anangu Quichua community who now own 100% of the lodge, so all tour proceeds are re-invested into the community. It is universally recognised as a blueprint for community-based tourism projects.
- The Napo Wildlife Center lodge has been constructed in natural indigenous style, with luxury accommodation, ample social areas, and a 50 foot wildlife viewing tower.
- It has built up such a good reputation that both the New York Times and the BBC have visited the site to run nature reports / documentaries.
- Check out our special blog report for a first hand account of Napo Wildlife Center by Happy Gringo owner, Eva Merkx.
