Long Run – Class III-IV

Day Trip, from/to Quito Both the Toachi and Blanco Rivers provide a great introduction to rafting in Ecuador. This tour takes you along the rivers of the Andean cloudforests and the sub-tropical rainforest towards the coast. It includes the longest navigable whitewater routes that you will find anywhere in Ecuador. Combined with a spectacular backdrop and the enchanting sounds of the cloud forest, this tour is an unforgettable adventure!

Itinerary:

Departure at 6.30 am from Quito. Travel west through a beautiful cloud forest to the shores of the river. Before setting off we will provide 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”. We finish the river trip with some well-earned cold beverages and return to Quito. Arrival at approx. 7.30 pm. (-/BL/-)
