Amazon Lodge Extension

A journey into our planet's greatest ecosystem -- the Amazon Basin!

Nearly half of all species living on this planet, both plants and animals, dwell in the rainforests. With more complexity and diversity than any other ecosystem on earth, the Amazon Basin holds a myriad of wonders for the nature traveler. In Ecuador the basin is called the Oriente, encompassing the vast wild jungle east of the Andes. The Napo Wildlife Center offers outstanding opportunities to experience the sensory drama of the Amazon. Day and night walks reveal monkeys, sloths, black caiman and a kaleidoscope of tropical birds, while dugout canoe journeys offer insight into the lives of the indigenous people.

» Stay deep within the Amazon rainforest at a conservation-oriented jungle lodge
» Explore the region and its profuse wildlife in small groups by trail and canoe
» Climb into and above the rainforest in the lodge’s special canopy tower

Important Information
This extension offers an immersion in the tropical jungle and rainforest of Ecuador’s Amazon Basin, replete with some of the most diverse plant and animal life on earth. The standard four-day extension departs on Friday, while the standard five-day extension departs on Monday. Departures on other days of the week are possible, but may require a surcharge.

Getting There & Getting Home
This adventure begins and ends in Quito, Ecuador. Our flight to Coca departs early in the morning on the first day, so an overnight in the city one night prior is always necessary. Our return flight from Coca generally lands in Quito mid-late afternoon. While it is possible to connect on to late evening flights back to the US, we do recommend planning for an extra night in Quito at the end to account for any possible delays.
