Location:
|
Located
in one of the most biodiverse regions in the world, Kapawi lodge is
located on the Pastaza River near the
southern Ecuadorian border with Peru. Its pristine and isolated
situation in the Amazon Basin can only be accessed by air.
|
Description:
|
The
lagoon varies in water level
throughout the year's season and provides the perfect setting for your
accommodations.
The lodge accommodates up to 50 guests and was built in accordance to
the Achuar concept of architecture. They offer 20 double and triple
rooms with private bathrooms, sun heated showers and electricity
provided by a solar panel system. Every room has a wide terrace. One
thing you should kept keep in mind during your stay here at Kapawi is
that you are in the “jungle”. Insects are by far the most numerous form
of life in this habitat, even though the rooms are screened through the
walls and floors, you may have some unwanted “guests” in your
cabin. The rooms are attractive and come with balconies,
hammocks, private bath and mosquito netting. |

a night hike, a caiman watching or to receive a lecture about the
rainforest or the Achuar life. Sleep at night in the community or camping are also available upon
request to the guides.
The Lodge provides multiple activities in programs that are
characterized by their flexibility: we allow you to design day by day,
with the rest of your group and your guide, the most suitable program
for your interests and desired activity level. Most itineraries include
visits to the Achuar communities,
hikes
in the
rain forest, canoeing, bird watching, and other activities.
According to your interests and physical condition (but not your age!),
we offer three alternative programs: easy, moderate, and difficult.
These programs depend mainly on the distance and time you would like to
spend on our trails; all other activities can be included in any
program.
