(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 04, 2011 ) HELENA, Mont. -- The Kapawi Lodge is located in one of the most remote and well-protected parts of the Ecuadorian Amazon and offers adventure travelers an unforgettable and immersive glimpse into the lives of the Achuar people of the Amazon.

Deep in the nearly two million acres of the Achuar people's territory, Kapawi Lodge is accessible only by chartered flight in a small plane that soars over an unbroken green expanse of rainforest. Located in the territorial lands of an indigenous nation (6,000 people in 64 communities) still living as they have for generations and in intimate harmony with nature, the lodge provides guests a range and depth of cultural experiences unmatched by other rainforest lodges.

The nearest town is a 10-day walk from the lodge, offering guests the experience of traveling in a place that's truly untouched by modern civilization. Activities include nature walks, catching glimpses of wildlife like pink river dolphins, monkeys, and parrots, bird watching, and fascinating cultural visits with local families.

Travelers can book once in a lifetime cultural experiences like this one through Detour, The Adventure Travel Marketplace. For more information about how Detour's marketplace offers savings to travelers and benefits local communities, visit www.detourdestinations.com .
