The quiet byways of the Ecuadorian Amazon are a good place to ponder the intricacies and infinities of nature, and the region’s Achuar Indians can help your meditations.

Escape
Adventure To Go

Since we use small aircraft to fly to Kapawi the amount of weight that can be transported is limited. Therefore it is imperative that you limit your luggage to a basic minimum. We recommend backpacks instead of suitcases. As a guideline, luggage should not exceed 25 pounds per person.
 
 

Luggage

• 1 backpack or 1 duffle bag;
• 1 small daypack.

Note: No hard suitcases are allowed on the plane.

Clothing
• 3 lightweight long pants; quick drying material preferred; avoid jeans;
• 2 long sleeved shirts, quick drying material preferred;
• 2 or 3 short sleeved t-shirts;
• 1 pair of hiking socks for each day in the rainforest;
• 1 light windbreaker, sweater or fleece jacket;
• 1 brimmed hat (suitable for both sun and rain);
• 1 light waterproof poncho;
• Bathing suit.
 

Footwear
• 1 pair of comfortable walking shoes;
• 1 pair of sandals;
• You will need to bring rubber boots for hiking in the jungle if your foot size is very small (less than a women’s size 5 US or European size 35), or very large (greater than a men’s size 12 US or European size 46). Other sizes are available at the lodge. We recommend that you buy extra large or small sizes in your home country as they are very difficult to find anywhere in Ecuador.

Equipment

• Sun block lotion (SPF 30 or 45 is recommended);
• Insect repellent;
• Anti-malaria pills;
• Small flashlight (headlamp models recommended);
• Water bottle;
• Lightweight binoculars are extremely useful.
