Often cited as one of the most biodiverse places on the planet, this Amazon park shelters jaguars, more than 600 bird species, and clay licks where hundreds of parrots gather at dawn. Comfortable eco-lodges along the Napo River, several run by Indigenous communities, serve as bases for canoe trips and canopy-tower birding.
