Kapawi Ecolodge, a pioneer in the use of solar energy in Ecuador, became 100% solar based with the construction of a new photovoltaic system. With this latest project, Kapawi Ecolodge fulfilled its goal of using exclusively clean solar energy for all its infrastructure and facilities, for both visitors and for the local staff at the ecolodge.

With this new solar system, Kapawi will avoid the use of approximately 1,000 gallons of fuel per year, reducing pollution and helping to protect the Amazon Rainforest and the Achuar indigenous land.

This is part of a broader process aimed at reducing the carbon footprint in the region. This is essential to protect key biodiversity and the natural landscape. We hope to gradually replicate this project in several Achuar villages of the region.
