Stories That Inspire: Experiences at Napo Cultural Center

We share with you some of the testimonials from those who have already been part of this magical adventure.

1791JKdanjAn incredible amazon experience
We had a great time staying at the Napo Cultural Centre Lodge on our four-day/three-night stay. The communications prior to the stay were very helpful to answer our questions and prepare us for our stay. We had an excellent guide in Jose who spent a lot of time talking to us about what we wanted to see, learning about the Kichwa Anangu community, learning about our guide, learning about Ecuador and sharing our experiences. He was very knowledgeable on the wildlife and plants.

We just wrapped up our 4 day 3 night stay and had an amazing time. Milton and Fidel are the best guides ever. Each excursion was more fun and informative than the last. The food and lodging was also excellent — no complaints whatsoever. We hope we can return someday soon!

The most wonderful experience. Attention to detail was incredible, specially the nice cold towels and refreshing juices after every hike. Give 5 stars to our guide Jose and assistant Chayan. Accommodations were so luxurious you never thought you were in the middle of the Amazon!! The Kishwa people have done an outstanding job with every aspect of the experience.
