RAFTING Y KAYAKING
Rafting and Kayaking that may get to a IV level of difficulty are some of the biggest
attractions for adventure seekers in this region of Ecuador. The
splendid white crystalline rivers, surrounded by a stunning natural and exotic
environment make these trips even more spectacular. We offer
tours from one to four days. We also offer rafting for
families in the river Anzu, eventhough this activity is less risky, guarantees an exciting adventure!
No experience in Rafting is required for our tours.
THE RIVER ANZU (Clase II-III)
It's
the perfect trip for those seeking adventure in rivers, since that
provides a fun and relaxing day, floating through small rapids along
the magnificent landscape of the Rainforest. We always bring a kayak
for the most adventurous of the group. This trip is also ideal
for families and young ones.
16 km / FULL DAY season: All year

THE HIGH NAPO (Clase III)
The
High Napo is also known locally as Jatunyacu River, which means
"huge
water" in Quichua. HUGE is probably the best word to describe this
river. Large waves and great fun! An excellent trip for beginners and
experts
alike, it has the perfect combination of exciting rapids, natural and
calmed pools, and the fabulous scenery of the jungle. Being the head of
one of
the two rivers that form the vast Amazon, this is an adventure that
