We were privileged to spend 4 days here (actually Apriul 2010). We were blown away by the facilities, by the friendliness of the indigenous people (we visited an Achuar village, same tribe as is now owner of the lodge: what an education!), by the quality of the touring we did (boats, kayaks, walks in the rain forest), and the opportunity...

There were three of us the stayed fives days at Kapawi. I loved this place. It is in a vast tract of unbroken rainforest. We saw so many species of birds, animals, insects, etc that it was overwhelming. There were even a family of Capybara wading through the water under one the the cabins one evening (the thatched cabins are... More

Kapawi has the potential to be so much more. It is also in need of some serious upkeep, as we broke several of the boards just walking from our palapa to the main dining hut and almost fell through if it weren't for quick reflexes and a nearby railing, which would have meant a fall of about 12 feet.

We came with a group of six people, and fully enjoyed this lodge along with the values it proposes: to support the life of this region, and of the local tribes who have lived here for generations, learning from the forest to use medicinal plants, using natural materials for blowguns, snares, carrying packs, and cooking. Our native guide, Diego, demonstrated... More

A wonderful experience with amazing naturalist and local Achuar guide. The lodge itself is in need of some upkeep but the service was topnotch . Saw over sixty species of birds in two days, as well as monkeys, caimans, capybara , and pink river dolphins. Visit to an Acuar community was a highlight.

We recently stayed at the Kapawi Ecolodge, deep in the jungle, close to the Peru border in Ecuador. We enjoyed the sights and sounds of the area - bright colored birds, butterflies and reptiles were abundant. We had some of the most amazing cuisine, with very generous portions. The itinerary that included hikes in both new growth and old growth... More

I was blown away by how accommodating the Kapawi Ecolodge was. We were in the middle of the jungle, hundreds of miles from the nearer road, and somehow we had an amazing trip. The service was great, the achuar tribe are incredible people, and if you are looking for a true nature retreat, I highly recommend the Kapawi lodge. Landing... More

I spent five days here and overall really enjoyed my time here. The Achuar tribe although shy run the lodge very efficiently and your experience at one of these places will largely depend upon the quality of your guide. Our guide Lorraina happened to be exceptional - her knowledge and passion for the wildlife was infectious and made all the... More

I hope we were exceptionally unlucky, when we visited Kapawi Ecolodge. We enjoyed the nature and the guided tours, but we did not feel welcome. We had expected friendliness and a forthcoming attitude meeting the staff, but only the guides seemed to like their job. Meals were quickly done with, and we were never offered more or different food. Coffee... More
