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.

This exciting, first-class whitewater kajak trip is an adventure of a lifetime! The Amazon is home to a vast, unforgettable array of unique sights, sounds and cultures. Daily kajaking allow you the opportunity to see diverse wildlife and world class whitewater! You will also meet the local people, so that you can get a rare glimpse of how life 'on the river' is lived.
