Birdwatching
Over 562 species of birds
have been recorded at the Napo Wildlife Center, more than 1/3
of all of Ecuador`s birds. A vast and rich bird-life that can
reward the most avid birdwatcher with the unrivalled South Napo
specialties. NWC and Anangu are a classic visiting location
for someone travelling Ecuador seeking for the overwhelming
bird diversity. Agami and ZigZag herons are found near the lake
and creeks, including all 5 kingfishers. Thelarge raptors like
Harpy and Crested Eagles find healthy mammal food around our
area. The active calls of forest floor mixed species flocks
with the largest numbers of the surprising antbirds can be found.
Canopy flocks are normal to run into, chances are birds provide
an hour or so of a multitude of wow’s. Gear up with the best
binoculars for the most superb views and active excursions helped
with the expertise of the top native bird guide along the entire
Napo:
Añangu Community
Project
This is yet another
successful Kichwa community project located in Yasuni National
Park on the shores of the Añangu Lagoon. It is also considered
the most luxurious lodge in Amazonian Ecuador.
Unfortunately,
the National Parks System in Ecuador is as under-funded as any
other and does not have the resources to adequately patrol and
protect Yasuní. This project has worked closely with the Ecuadorian
Parks System and the relationship has allowed the Parks System
to rely on the Añangu community and the Napo Lodge as their
primary source of on-the-ground protection for this region of
Yasuní. The Napo Lodge also provides virtually 100% of the Park's
tourism income by being the only lodge in the region to pay
park fees.
And
what could be more effective than local residents protecting
what belongs to them? All one must do is look at the barren
cattle pastures of adjacent communities to know what could have
become of this community territory in the absence of a legitimate,
non-extractive income base.
The lodge consists
of 10 luxury cabañas and a large dining hall with a library
and a well-stocked bar. The rooms are very large and include
one king-sized bed and one twin-sized bed (up to 3 people).
There are private bathrooms with hot water, private porches
with lagoon views, ceiling fans, secure screens for bug-free
ventilation and 24 hour electricity.
Attached to the
bar is a 50-foot viewing tower from which you can see the Andes
on a clear day!
Two clay licks
are available for your parrot watching enjoyment as well as
a 120 foot canopy tower for birdwatching. As stated above
under Yasuni National Park, you will find the number of bird
species in this park mind-boggling.
