I am visiting the Galapagos in January, 2007, and want an additional excursion when in and around Ecuador. I found a website for the Kapawi Ecolodge & Reserve, which sounded fascinating.
Has anyone visited this place? Can anyone tell me anything about the ecolodge? Is it worth the trip, which seems a bit arduous? |

We went to the Kapawi Lodge last June and had a wonderful time. A trip to the Oriente--the true name of the Amazon area--which is a rain forest jungle--is truly an adventure where one relinquishes all control to the whims of nature.
Kapawi Lodge--which is primitive luxury--is located in one of the most remote areas of Amazoni where amenities are few but what there are is amazing given its isolation. Hot water is scarce--one bag supplied by solar power hanging from the shower head and so if it rains--no hot water. There is electricity. The cabanas are more like going to camp--far different facilities than in Africa--much more basic. The building materials and techniques are those of the indigenous people. The air is steamy and wet--the sounds of the rainforest fill your ears--the beauty is poignantly overwhelming. |
