2 Days..

Rio Quijos - Province of Napo.

Depending on the Demand (2 / 30).

The Quijos’ IV-IV+ class rapids and the spectacular jungle scenery, promise this river to become Ecuador’s first class whitewater river.

You can expect to run more water on this tour, than you would in a whole week on other rivers. This trip is for experienced rafters, who are secure swimmers. No wimps please!

Day 1:      Departure from Crossroads Café and Hostel at 07:00 am. Drive to Baeza. Upon arrival everyone will be equipped with a wetsuit, a life vest and a helmet. After a short drive to the place of departure, the trip leader will give a thorough explanation about safety and conducts a swimming test. Following, you will be doing an intensive “in-boat” paddling training with your leader, in your group. As soon as the tour starts, the excitement begins. However, we start with easier rapids, to warm up. At noon we stop on the way to do a picnic at the river banks. In the afternoon we go through the first canyons with the big rapids. At the end of the day we will put the boats on the banks and do a short 10 minute walk to the lodge. There, we will find a cold beer, a hot shower and a delicious meal waiting for us.

(L/D).

Day 2:      After a good night’s sleep and a hearty breakfast, we will put on our wetsuits again and return to the river, where more action will be waiting for us. Today, you should be prepared for one of the most exciting days of your lives. On top of that, this day will be at one of the most beautiful places in Ecuador. The river is ready to become legend. Afterwards, we travel back to Quito; not without making a stop at Papallacta’s hot springs. Here, we can enjoy our well-earned bath in the volcanic mineral hot springs. Arrival in Papallacta will be approximately at 20:00 or we will spend the night there.
