In the year 2011, the Lodge will be given entirely to the Achuars. The amount paid in rent by Canodros to FINAE for the use of their land will total over $600.000 at the end of the 15 year period. Actually there is also a ten dollar fee charged to every visitor and an additional estimated of $150.000 will be contributed to the project.

Before Kapawi, most of the Achuars based their external economy on cattle ranching. Today, members of the 58 Achuar communities base a significant percentage of their economy on ecotourism. Up to 45% of their total income comes from direct employments, supplying products to the ecotourist project and handicraft sales, which represents 21%.
