On the Napo River, 160 km (100 mi) from
Iquitos, ExplorNapo Lodge provides access to the pristine
forest of Explorama´s Sucusari Reserve, as well as
access to the adjoining Amazon Canopy
Walkway, the longest
treetop
walkway in the world. This adventure gives you the opportunity
to live in an authentic Amazon River style with palm-thatched
houses,
kerosene lighting and open-hearth cooking in a rainforest
surrounding. Room, shower and toilet facilities are identical
to those of Explorama Lodge.
The recommended 5
day/4 night program, including two nights at Explorama
Lodge, provides the opportunity to take special rainforest
treks and excursions
into the surrounding primeval forest in an area named by
scientists as the “Biodiversity Capital of the World”.
Other options available from ExplorNapo include an overnight
adventure staying in ExplorTambo
shelters which are located
in more remote rainforest, as well as staying overnight
at the ACTS Field Station.
Explorama's 5 quite different
lodges are all managed by Peter Jenson, a pioneer who started
to put
his vision
into practice in 1964. The other lodges are Ceiba
Tops,
Explorama Lodge, ExplorTambos
Camp, and the ACTS
Field Station.
The map shows location of all these. You can stay
at several lodges during your trip to the area, and this
is frequently done. For suggested possibilities, see itineraries.
