The Ecolodge - Located in one of the areas with the highest biodiversities of Earth. Kapawi Ecolodge & Reserve was built by the Achuar Indians using traditional techniques, combined with low-impact technologies (solar energy, biodegradable soaps, four-stroke and electric outboard motors).

Among the mysteries one encounters is that of human livelihood in this seemingly inhospitable place and that will also be part of your journey. Kapawi is in fact one of the last places where you can interact with an ancient culture, which will change your perception of your culture and the other cultures that share this planet. The Achuar have inhabited the Amazon basin for thousands of years, developing a vast, invaluable knowledge on their environment, land use and resource management which has allowed both the people and ecosystems to survive.

Your Activities - The lodge provides an array of activities characterized by their flexibility in order for you to set the pace at which you discover this whole new world. As part of a small group (no larger that ten, leaded by a naturalist and an Achuar guide), you can fully customize your itineraries, which may include visits to the Achuar communities, hikes in the rain forest, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, camping and bird watching, in accordance to the group's chosen degree of difficulty.

Location - Kapawi is located near the Ecuadorian and Peruvian border, in the Southern Ecuadorian Amazon Basin on the Pastaza River, a major tributary of the Amazon. Kapawi is one of the most pristine and isolated points in the Amazon Basin, accessed only by air and with the closest town at ten days walking distance. Your transfer will include a private plane from Quito to the Kapawi Reserve (less than two hours), then an additional canoe ride (1 1/2 hours) to the lodge.
