Kapawi is located near the Ecuadorian and Peruvian border, in the Southern Ecuadorian Amazon Basin on the Pastaza River, a major tributary of the Amazon. Kapawi is one of the most pristine and isolated points in the Amazon Basin, accessed only by air. The closest town is within ten days walking distance. Despite its isolation, Kapawi offers one of the best access of all lodges in the Amazon. A private plane will take you from Quito to the Kapawi Reserve in less than two hours. An additional canoe ride (1 1/2 hours) is necessary to reach the lodge.
Accommodation comprises 20 cabins with ensuite facilities, with private balcony and hammock looking out over the lagoon. Communal dinning room and separate living room with bar and small shop plus library.
