Ecuador has one of the worlds highest concentrations of rivers per square mile. These south-american rivers wind their way through spectacular gorges, canyons, valleys and jungles, and leave behind hundreds of miles of breathtaking world class whitewater that feed into the mighty Amazon River.
Ecuador offers excellent kayaking in the jungle wilderness. In addition to their nearly continuous flows, Ecuadorian rivers have warm, tropical waters and excellent accessibility. There are a variety of rivers to choose from, with varying grades of difficulty. Whether you are a whitewater enthusiast or a kayaking apasionado, Ecuador is an unrivaled whitewater destination that you should not pass up.
The river Upano: In the mountainous Morona-Santiago province of Ecuador, the rugged terrain and fast-flowing whitewater rivers washing down from the Andes kept would-be explorers (and conquerors) at bay for centuries. Neither the Incas nor the Spanish were able to penetrate this land of the Shuar Indians (maybe because they were formerly headhunters and are famous for their shrunken heads--not to worry, this practice ended more than 50 years ago!) and much of the latter's culture has remained intact, influenced only by missionaries and a slow influx of highland settlers in the last century... The river Upano and his canyon of the holy waterfalls: Enjoy one of the last kayak adventures in our world !
