Trip Snapshot

Day 1: Departing from Quito, a 30 minute flight to Coca will bring you over the eastern Andes mountain range. After landing during the mid-morning, a 5 min transfer will take you to “La Mision” Port, where you will embark on a comfortable covered motor-boat. Here we will ride along the Napo River for about 2 hours while enjoying a box lunch and coffee, which is provided en route. Arrival to Napo Wildlife Center with an overwhelming view of the Añangu Lagoon will be accompanied by a welcome drink followed by a briefing from the local manager. Day 2: Early breakfast to reach Clay Licks, guests reach this destination just before parrot activity kicks off, where 11 species of parrots, parakeets, and macaws can be seen. Many other animals can be seen too. Later, hike along a forest trail to visit the Community and enjoy lunch at Napo Cultural Center, where you share with people of the Kichwa community. Day 3: Early breakfast, we leave the lodge to experience an amazing view of the rainforest from a 36 meter tall canopy tower, a great way to see the hustle and bustle of life above ground-level. The canopy tower opens a whole new world to guests of the Napo Wildlife Center! Lunch is served at the lodge. Your afternoon can include discovering another Terra Firme trail, and exploring the creeks in a dugout canoe and enjoy a likely chance meeting with our local Giant otter family on the way. Day 4: Your last day will entail an early departure and final 2 hour excursion canoeing back to the Napo River. The creek may reveal new sights of giant otters, monk saki monkeys, and rare birds along the way. Once we have reached the river, you will transfer to the motorized canoe to return the way you came. You will arrive in Coca after an approximately 2 hour boat ride in order to check-in for your Coca – Quito flight. Precise schedule to be announced according to departure details and arrangements.
