What to expect
Jondachi River
Through towering mountains and endless seas of green we start our adventure by driving across the eastern Andean range at 13.000 feet. This scenic drive takes us through a panorama of rolling hills and volcanoes on a clear day, but even on a cloudy one we are gifted by views of hidden falls. Upon entering the Amazon basin, we will get ready to enter the canyon and have fun exploring through towering walls of smoothed rocked and green tree cover. Afterwards we will head to the lodge.
Napo Province
We are greeted early by the song of birds as we enjoy a delicious breakfast traveling for one hour by car to the Arajuno river. This is considered a class I river--Calm and perfect for leisurely kayaking as the river is shallow with few rapids.
Rio Arajuno
Along the river we will be on search for river otters and colorful birds. A pit stop takes us to refuel our energy with a visit on the side of the river to a local indigenous community. They will teach us about their culture, and we will enjoy some of the local gastronomy. Afterwards we continue paddling down the river until we reach a bridge where our driver will be waiting for us to take us back to the lodge.
LLanganates National Park
Today we find ourselves daring to go deeper into the jungle! A fun start to the day takes us to a local swimming hole comprised of natural lagoons where we can swim and cliff jump. After starting the day off right with some fun in the jungle we will continue at the same pace towards our homestay. Our kichwa family awaits us with a very tasty lunch followed by an afternoon of canyoning. Scramble over river rocks, up waterfalls and through the enchanting forest where our energies will be cleaned, and souls revived on this exhilarating adventure. We end our day with a sweet treat making chocolate fondue out of local cacao as part our traditional dinner, a real opportunity to immerse ourselves and feel one with the culture.
Jatunyacu River
Day four brings us to one of the most action-packed days of our expedition as paddle down the Jatunyacu River. This river is a class lll sourcing from the Llanganates Mountains. Legend says there is a hidden Incan treasure in this area and although many explorers venture in trying to find it, it has yet to have been found. A yummy picnic will be served on the river’s bank and then we will drive for two hours to the hot springs, where you can soak in the volcanic pools to recover from all the exercise done in the past days. You will arrive back to Quito in the late afternoon.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
