THE
LONG RUN with YACU AMU RAFTING- 1 DAY
Our most popular trip. The Toachi and Blanco rivers
are a blast for experienced rafters and have proved
to be the beginning of a whitewater addiction
for thousands of first-timers. 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".
KAYAK
There's no better place to learn this exciting
sport than on Ecuador's warm tropical rivers.
Let our qualified instructors introduce you to
the wonders of whitewater kayaking through this
course designed for those with no whitewater kayaking
experience. This course starts with the basic
techniques of whitewater kayaking and builds on
those techniques with lots of on-river time. More
advanced techniques are introduced each day as
your confidence in whitewater increases. By the
end of the course you should be ready to read
and run grade III rapids (under supervision of
more experienced paddlers!).
MOUNTAIN BIKING with Bikingdcutchman
Mountain biking is a great source of fun and exercise
for people of all ages and abilities, but like
any activity, there are levels of difficulty that
range from quite manageable for most to the very
difficult reserved only for truly experienced
individuals. We want to make sure that the trip
you choose is the one that's best for you, the
one that you will enjoy the most, and so we have
classified each of our tours into three categories:
easy, moderate, and challenging. In classifying
the trips we take into consideration the distance
covered, the terrain, weather conditions and altitude.
In all cases and as an added precaution, on every
trip a driver in a support vehicle closely follows
our guests so that anyone in need of a rest can
take a break and hitch a ride to continue along
with the group. Trip Levels Easy: Suitable for
most people in good health. Moderate: Requires
a reasonable level of fitness - these trips can
require sustained endurance levels, hills, longer
days and higher altitudes. Challenging: Physically
demanding and best suited for strong people with
a lot of endurance. Days can be long, often at
altitude, and in remote regions with tough terrain.
