Kapawi EcoLodge provides multiple activities in programs that
are characterized by their flexibility. The guides and
crew at the lodge 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. |
Easy
path:
Short hikes in the rainforest
(up to 2 h 30
min) on well-defined trails, visits to the Achuar
communities, trips in canoes
and excursions on raft
and kayaks |
|
Moderate
path:
Medium distance hikes in
the rain forest
(up to 4 hours)
and sometimes crossing
flooded areas |
|
Difficult path:
Demanding hikes of over 4 hours and in
some cases all day or more, in poorly defined, hilly,
and often flooded trails. Porters will carry food and
supplies for longer expeditions. Excellent physical
condition is required! |

Program descriptions: Experience the
Amazon far away from modern life in the middle of the
Rainforest where the Achuar and Kapawi welcome you. During
all programs you will explore and learn about the
jungle and the people who inhabit the area.
A day at Kapawi begins at 6 am when hot drinks and a light
snack will wake you up. Options are available for early
morning activities such as a short hike in the forest, a canoe trip for bird watching in the banks
of the Capahuari river or visit the parrots salt lick. You
will be back for breakfast at 8 am. At around 9 am you will depart for a morning activity.
Return to the lodge at around 1 pm for lunch or we take the lunch along to enjoy a beautiful picnic in
the forest and return to the lodge at 5 pm approximately.
Passengers who decide to have lunch at the lodge
will start their afternoon activity at 3 pm. Every night
at 7 pm there will be a
briefing with the guides followed by dinner at 7:30 pm. At
8:30 pm passengers will have the opportunity
to do a night hike, a caiman observation tour 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. |
