Description: The
ríos Toachi and Blanco are a fantastic introduction
to the rivers of Ecuador. Flowing off the coastal
side of the Andes they have some of the longest navigable
sections of whitewater in the country. Combine this
with the sights and sounds of the forest environment
we pass through and you are guaranteed a day to remember.
Before setting off we will fit you with life jackets
and helmets, give you a comprehensive safety briefing
and train each crew in the paddling techniques needed
to navigate our way down the river. Once on the river
you can expect both the action of thrilling whitewater
and the tranquility of drifting silently through tropical
rainforests. So while you´re guaranteed to get
wet you´ll also have the opportunity to be absorbed
by the sounds of the forest and to see wildlife up
close from our mobile "viewing platform".
Depart Quito 6.30am. Travel west down through beautiful
cloud forest to the shores of the river.
Safety briefing & paddle practice on arrival at
the river.
