Overview
Comfort close to nature
Napo Cultural Center is located deep in the Yasuni Reserve on the banks of the Río Napo. It is the sister lodge of the prestigious Napo Wildlife Center and is managed by the women of the local community of Añangu. You get there from Quito via a 35-minute flight and a two-hour trip downstream by motor canoe. The Yasuni Reserve, with almost 1 million hectares of rainforest, offers more biodiversity in one hectare than the entire European continent. The lodge has a dozen beautiful and luxurious cottages, all with bathroom and balcony. From the lodge you can make full-day or half-day excursions, where nature exploration goes hand in hand with the exploration of the local culture.
Napo Cultural Center offers all-in tours of several days.
