* Important Kapawi flight considerations when planning your travel itinerary to Kapawi Ecolodge and Ecuador
Weather can be a factor when flying deep into the Amazon Rainforest. On very few occasions, weather can cause flight delays when traveling to Kapawi from Shell, or from Kapawi to Shell. Fortunately, we rely on information provided by weather satellites and tracking systems, and over time we have developed a very good weather monitoring system. However, due to the nature of our private chartered flights to Kapawi and back, we suggest avoiding any immediate travel plans the day after the Kapawi experience. We suggest leaving a free day after Kapawi, especially if you have planned an international flight, or a flight to the Galapagos Islands right after visiting us. Feel free to contact us for more information and details.
