Frequently Asked Questions

What wildlife can we realistically expect to see near DRAGO NORTE 13, beyond the obvious?

While the chances of spotting pink river dolphins in Limoncocha are high, we also love the smaller wonders. Keep your eyes peeled for an incredible array of birdlife, from macaws to toucans, and if you're lucky, you might even spot a sloth or a troop of monkeys in the surrounding trees. The nocturnal walks are particularly rewarding for spotting caimans and fascinating insects.

What's the best time of year to visit DRAGO NORTE 13 for optimal wildlife viewing and comfortable weather?

We find the dry season, roughly from June to September, offers the most comfortable experience with less rain and easier wildlife spotting as animals congregate near water sources. However, the 'wetter' months still provide fantastic opportunities, and the lushness of the rainforest is truly breathtaking then. Pack for humidity and rain year round, just in case.

What kind of accommodation and amenities should we anticipate at DRAGO NORTE 13?

DRAGO NORTE 13 offers a rustic yet comfortable experience that immerses you in the Amazon. Expect charming, private cabins with essential amenities, designed to blend with the natural surroundings. While it's not a five-star luxury resort, the lodge feels warm and welcoming, providing a perfect base for exploration.

How do we get to DRAGO NORTE 13 from Quito, and what is the travel time like?

Getting to DRAGO NORTE 13 involves a flight from Quito to Coca, followed by a scenic boat journey down the Napo River. The boat ride itself is an adventure, taking several hours, and it's a fantastic introduction to the sights and sounds of the rainforest. We recommend arranging transfers through the lodge for a seamless experience.

Are there any specific safety considerations or health precautions we should be aware of before visiting DRAGO NORTE 13?

As with any Amazonian adventure, we advise consulting your doctor about necessary vaccinations and malaria precautions well in advance. The lodge staff are experienced and will brief you on safety protocols, including how to navigate the jungle trails and interact responsibly with wildlife. Staying hydrated and using insect repellent are key.
