Called "ECUADOR'S closest approach to the perfect ecolodge" it has been prized by Conservation International with the Ecotourism Excellence Award. Kapawi offers personalized excursion programs, gourmet food, double or triple cabins with private bathroom, solar energy and private transportation. Since Kapawi started their operation we have been working with the Achuar Community developing a new model of eco-tourism. In the year 2011 Kapawi will be fully managed by the Achuar people.

The Kapawi project was initiated in 1993 by Carlos Perez Perasso, founder of Canodros and leader of the Ecuadorian journalism through El Universo the major newspaper in Ecuador, through his vision and passion to nature his goal was to commence a new trend in ecotourism, in partnership with the FINAE Federation of Achuar Indigenous People in Ecuador, by providing a monthly means of economic support and jobs to the Achuar.

Kapawi is a place of multiple choices and it is characterized by its flexibility. We do not offer fixed programs, but you can design, with your guide and your group, the most suitable one to meet your interests and physical condition. Nevertheless, most of the itineraries will include visits to the Achuar communities, hikes in the rain forest, canoeing and kayaking in rivers and lakes, as well as birdwaching.
