Immerse yourself in the Amazon jungle at this remotely located and internationally recognised lodge!Kapawi Ecolodge & Reserve is located in one of the most remote and well protected parts of the Ecuadorian Amazon. Deep in the nearly two million acres of the Achuar people’s territory, Kapawi is accessible only by air in a small plane. Kapawi is an award winning Ecolodge noted for its ecological design and sensitivity, and for its abundance of wildlife and rich biodiversity.
Located in the territorial lands of an indigenous nation (6,000 people in 64 communities) still living as they have for generations and in intimate harmony with nature, Kapawi provides guests a range and depth of cultural experiences unmatched by any other rainforest lodges.
Kapawi Ecolodge & Reserve is built entirely using traditional Achuar architecture and fans out around an ephemeral lagoon crowded with plant and bird life. A wooden boardwalk meanders its way from the river through the jungle to the lodge itself, and on out over the lagoon, providing an ideal location for early morning bird watching and sipping freshly brewed coffee.
The lodge includes19 guest rooms, each with private bath, and two centrally located communal structures - large dining room and separate lounge/library - which serve as the social and meeting center.
Kapawi has a comfortable lounge area with a well supplied bar, library, and boutique that stocks essential items (film, toothbrushes, toothpaste, sunscreen, insect repellent, hats, etc.), as well as Achuar handicrafts and souvenirs. The library houses a wide range of novels, magazines and anthropological and wildlife resource books.
There is no set itinerary when staying at the Kapawi lodge but you (or your group)-and your guides-will be able to organize a set of experiences that most suits your individual interests and your desired level of activity. Almost all of your itineraries will include some combination of visits to the Achuar communities, hikes in the rain forest, kayaking in rivers and streams, and bird watching.
Packages are available in 4 day, 5 day and 8 day itineraries and include all meals, filtered drinkable water, jungle excursions, guides, canoe transportation and village visit.
