The Quijos is set to become Ecuador’s premier whitewater trip with mile after mile of class IV rapids and spectacular jungle scenery. Expect to run more whitewater in a day than you’d do in a week elsewhere.
Depart from Crossroads Café and Hostel, 6:30 am. Drive to Baeza. On arrival you’ll be issued with wetsuits, life jackets and helmets. After a short drive to the put-in the Trip Leader will give a thorough safety briefing and conduct a swim test. Then you’ll split into groups for an intensive in-boat paddle practice with your guide. Once we set off we’re straight into the action but with some easier rapids to warm up. Along the way we’ll stop for a riverside picnic lunch. In the afternoon we’ll raft through the first canyons of the Quijos running big, technical rapids. At the end of the day we celebrate a fun day on the river with a few icy cold beers and return to Quito (approx. 7:30 pm). What to bring: swimsuit/shorts, spray jacket, tennis shoes/river sandals, sunglasses (with retention strap), baseball cap, sunscreen, insect repellent. Includes: Professional guides, expert safety kayaker for every two boats, all rafting equipment, wetsuits, transport, lunch. Not included: Breakfast, additional alcoholic drinks, personal expenses, tips. |
