Here the Yasuni Rainforest Tour begins!
A rewarding 30-minute flight over the eastern Andes mountain range to Coca is the beginning of this amazing experience. After landing, a short five-minute drive to the port on the Napo River will take you on to a comfortable covered motor boat. Here we start a boat ride along the Napo for approximately 2 hours. Some aquatic birds can be spotted on the way. After arriving at Napo Wildlife Center’s welcoming area, we take a magical and peaceful 2-hour dugout-canoe along a narrow creek that connects to the lake where the lodge is located. Great chances to spot wildlife, various species of monkeys as well as large birds like toucans, parrots or even macaws. Late afternoon arrival at the lodge.

After a buffet breakfast, you will experience the life above the forest. A 36-meter canopy tower is waiting. This tower is located about 30 minutes from the lodge, deep within the forest. Get a very good sample of the 567 species recorded so far. Enjoy a close look at colorful tanagers, macaws, toucans, flycatchers, and even spider or howler monkeys. The canopy tower opens a whole new world to the guests of the Napo Wildlife Center. Later on you will return to the lodge for a typical Ecuadorian lunch. Then you can climb the dining room tree tower for more birds, or just relax in your hammock. In the afternoon, hike through a marvelous terra firme forest. Discover the ecology and the role of plants in the world of the Tropical Rain-Forest. See vines, ancient trees, bromeliads, or orchids. After the hike, explore the surrounding creeks.
