Where you'll be
To get to Kapawi, we usually drive overland from Quito to the Andean town of Shell. This is a 4-5 hour drive that passes by the small city of Baños, one of Ecuador's main tourist destinations, and a very convenient complementary experience before visiting us, because it will get you closer to the town of Shell, where the Kapawi experience begins. Shell is a small Amazonian town from where we take a small chartered flight to the Achuar community of Kusutkau. This flight covers approximately 160 kilometers, flying deep in the Ecuadorian Amazon, and takes roughly 50 minutes.
