A Luxury Ecological Paradise in Ecuador's Amazon Rainforest

The Napo Wildlife Center, an ecological complex built with traditional Kichwa architecture, emerges proudly in the thickness of the majestic and serene jungle. This jewel nestled in the heart of nature is owned and managed by the Añangu Indigenous Community, custodians of tradition and guardians of the infinite green that surrounds them.

This exclusive abode houses twenty private cabins. Twelve of them, standard, and the remaining eight, luxury suites, unfolding like a dance of wood and roofs over the natural tapestry of the jungle. Each cabin, adorned with local art, has a private bathroom with hot water, ventilation, electricity, a safe, a mosquito net, and a balcony with a hammock, offering the most amazing views of the jungle and the Añangu Lagoon.

This community has developed a unique environmental system with its water treatment and energy generation with minimal impact on the environment

The Napo Wildlife Center is not just a lodge, it is a hymn to ecotourism, a perfect symbiosis of humanity and nature. The community has invested in a unique environmental system, possibly the most advanced in the Amazon. They treat all wastewater to keep the wetlands clean, and generate energy through solar panels, industrial batteries and silent generators, an efficient system that minimally impacts the environment.

At the center of the project stands, defiant and sublime, the Central Panoramic Tower, an architectural icon that houses different common areas of recreation and comfort for visitors. From this tower, you can enjoy the wonderful panoramic view, relax in the meeting room, enjoy an exquisite cocktail at the bar, delight yourself with the local and international cuisine at the restaurant, or buy a souvenir at the souvenir boutique.

A place where luxury blends with simplicity, and where every awakening is a gift to the soul.

The gastronomic proposal of the Napo Wildlife Center is an irresistible dance of flavors, a combination of local and international cuisine, with a complete variety of exotic fruits and organic products. The Napo Wildlife Center is, without a doubt, a hymn to the wild beauty of the jungle and the harmony of man with his environment, a haven of peace where every detail has been carefully thought out so that man's footprint is respectful and sustainable.
