Wow! Das Kapawi-Team und die Achuar-Nation haben mit dieser Öko-Lodge ein erstaunliches Erlebnis tief im Regenwald geschaffen. Vom Kajakfahren mit Flussdelfinen über Tabakzeremonien, hochwertige Küche, authentische einheimische Führer bis hin zur Möglichkeit, nach einer nächtlichen Wanderung in den Dschungel unter dem Großvater-Kapokbaum zu schlafen – ich Ich hätte mir keine geerdetere, erdverbundenere und liebevollere Erfahrung wünschen können. Sehr zu empfehlen für alle, die eine authentische Erfahrung mit dem Amazonas- und Achuar-Volk machen möchten. Romeriz und das gesamte Personal waren wunderbar. Meine einzige Beschwerde: Das Hinzufügen einiger Ventilatoren würde viel dazu beitragen, die Spitzenhitze, die wir Ende Mai erlebten, zu bewältigen. Hinweis: Dies ist ein echtes Regenwald- und Naturerlebnis und nichts für den Instagram-Entdecker.

Der erstaunlichste Ort, den ich je gesehen habe. Die Natur, der Pastaza-Fluss, das Essen von Küchenchef Marco und der Service des gesamten Teams waren außergewöhnlich. Ich hoffe wirklich, dass ich wiederkomme.

Kapawi ist ein besonderes Reiseziel auf dieser guten Erde. Nachdem es einst florierte und einen stetigen Besucherstrom verzeichnete, erlebte es schwere Zeiten. Mittlerweile wurde es renoviert und wiedereröffnet. Die Kabinen sind sehr komfortabel und ästhetisch sehr ansprechend. Wie immer ist die abgelegene Umgebung spektakulär. Vögel, Amphibien, Reptilien und Säugetiere gibt es in Hülle und Fülle. Die Achuar-Gastgeber sind wunderbar. Dies ist eine Natur- und Kulturreise, die Sie nicht verpassen sollten.

Dies ist ein großartiger Ort für einen Besuch, wenn Sie ein Dschungelerlebnis erleben möchten. Das Essen ist sehr lecker und die Leute geben einen tollen Service. Die Zimmer sind komfortabel, alles funktioniert einfach. Denken Sie daran: Es liegt mitten im Dschungel.

About the project

This Ecolodge is owned by the indigenous Achuar communities of Kapawi, Suwa and Kusutkau, members of the Achuar Indigenous Nation in Ecuador. The vision of the ecotourism project is to fulfill an ancient Achuar prophecy of global unity and cooperation for the survival of all people. It's one of the most unique places in the world for profound connections between two worlds, the indigenous and the modern, enabling the exchange of knowledge, wisdom and shared leadership in addressing environmental challenges. Since the beginning of the project, the vision of this ecotourism project has been developed in collaboration between the Achuar and the travelers who are welcomed here - starting with the very first group of travelers in 1995. The goal of the project is to conserve and to protect the Amazon rainforest and to promote the economic development of the Achuar indigenous nation.
