Wildlife Amazon Adventures offers the best in birdwatching in the Ecuadorian Amazon.  We work with 4 important lodges located along the Napo River offering various levels of comfort and excellent birdwatching opportunities at different prices. 
We also offer the unique opportunity of birding in isolated regions of the Amazon where little or no one has ever birded.  You may wish to seize this rare opportunity to bird in remote regions of Yasuni National Park and/or Waorani territory including the Shiripuno, Tiguino and Cononaco Rivers.  These special trips with expert bird guides are in basic lodges and/or camping.
You may also wish to do a combination tour and mix some of the lodges to maximize your birding experience.
