Itinerary (1 day, any day)
The day starts when we pick you up from your hotel. We travel west down through beautiful cloud forest to the shores of the river. The trip will take about 3 hours.
Before taking 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.
The total rafting time is approx. 3½ hrs. (Note: From March to May we usually run the upper Blanco river – 43km, approx. 4½ hrs).
During the trip, we’ll stop by the side of the river for a delicious picnic lunch including fresh tropical fruits, served with soft drinks, juice and water. At the end of the trip, we celebrate a fun day on the river with a few ice cold beers and return to Quito (approx. 6.30-7.00pm).
Highlights
Ecuador is a premier destination around the world for whitewater rafting, and the Toachi and Blanco rivers have some of the longest navigable sections in the country. Enjoy a day on the rivers that flow of the coastal side of the Andes while enjoying all-year warm temperatures and unmatched natural scenery full of exotic flora and fauna.
