Rafting near Quito: Quijos river Class IV-IV+ one day Tour
The Quijos river offers one of Ecuador's premier whitewater trips with mile after mile of class IV rapids and spectacular rainforest and basalt canyon scenery. Expect to run more whitewater in a day here than you'd do in a week elsewhere. These trips are for experienced rafters or adventurous first-timers that are confident swimmers. No wimps please!
Itinerary:
The day starts when we pick you up at 6.30 am at our meeting point. From there we will travel east going up and across the Páramo and down through beautiful cloud forest to the base in the Quijos valley.- The trip will take about two and a half hours.
At the base you'll enjoy a country style breakfast and be equipped with wetsuits, life jackets and helmets. After a short drive to the put-in zone, you will be given a thorough safety briefing by the trip leader and he will conduct a swim test. Then you'll split into groups for an intensive in-boat paddle practice with your guide. You'll be thankful that there are some easier rapids to warm up on before we hit the big technical rapids of the river's upper canyons. Rafting time approximately 2½ hrs.
During the trip we'll stop by the side of the river for a snack and then there will be a delicious picnic lunch waiting for us at the take-out including fresh tropical fruits as well as soft drinks, juice and water. And of course we celebrate a fun day on the river with an ice-cold beer. After lunch we head back to Quito. Arrival time is approximately 7.30pm but may be earlier or later depending on the river level and traffic conditions.
