How to get there

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.

This is the only type of transportation to access our Ecolodge. We are located within one of Ecuador's last large tracts of tropical rainforest, deep in Ecuador's last patch of remote and isolated Amazon Forest, away from towns, roads, oil exploitation, farming, and other external activities.
