Day 1: COCA - NAPO WILDLIFE CENTER
From “La Mission” Port in Coca, you will embark on a comfortably covered motorboat. Here, we will travel along the Napo River for about 2 hours, enjoying a box lunch and coffee provided along the route.
Along the way, you will have opportunities to spot birds like herons, kingfishers, and others. After arriving at Napo Wildlife Center’s entry dock, we take you on a majestic and peaceful 2-hour paddle canoe ride surrounded by trees and wildlife, paddling along a narrow creek that connects to the lake where the lodge is located.Day 2: KICHWA COMMUNITY
Wake up for an early breakfast and an early start to reach the most accessible parrot clay licks in Ecuador, about 1 hour away from the lodge. Guests reach this destination just before parrot activity kicks off at the clay lick between 7:30 to 8:30 am to ensure the best viewing experience. A total of 11 species of parrots, parakeets, and macaws can be seen daily. Many other animals also visit on a less frequent basis.
Later, hike along a forest trail to visit the Kichwa Community of Añangu and share time with a family on one of their many activities. Enjoy lunch at the Napo Cultural Center, where you share with people of the Kichwa community.Day 3: CANOPY TOWER
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. This is the second tower at the Napo Wildlife Center, located about 30 minutes from the lodge deep within the Terra Firme forest. As you ascend the 12-floor tower, you pass through different levels of the forest and emerge at the top of a huge Ceiba tree. The canopy tower opens a whole new world to guests of the Napo Wildlife Center!
Lunch at the lodge. Your afternoon can include discovering another Terra Firme trail, where we hike along the primary forest to see the forest interior, and possibilities of finding lizards, colorful manakins, or the unique and endemic Golden-mantled tamarin monkey. After the hike, explore the lake and creeks in a dugout canoe and enjoy a likely chance meeting with our local Giant otter family on the wayDay 4: NAPO WILDLIFE CENTER - COCA
Your last day will entail an early departure and a final 2-hour canoeing excursion 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 to check in for your Coca–Quito flight.
