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.
