Experience an authentic immersion in the Amazon Rainforest and the Achuar indigenous culture, in a truly remote and natural environment. Kapawi provides a stimulating time in one of the most nurturing parts of the world, still largely untouched by development, and still cared for by its indigenous owners and hosts.

As reference, this link: Menu of Activities, describes a little more our different options of activities and experiences. A day at Kapawi usually starts very early, and includes 4 moments: early before breakfast, after breakfast until lunch time, after lunch, and after dinner at night. 

We provide personalized experiences for individuals, couples, families with children, and small groups, and can include a balanced mix of forest, river, and community activities. We can help you design your own experience in advance. Whether it is a family program, or an interest in wildlife and nature, wellness, or if you want to include more cultural interaction and immersion, we can customize a unique experience and time with us.
