Rafting Banos

Whitewater Rafting Ecuador Banos

Ecuador offers excellent, year-round whitewater rafting & kayaking. In addition to their nearly continuous flows, Ecuadorian rivers, especially those in the east, 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 rafting enthusiast or a kayaking apasionado, Ecuador is an unrivaled whitewater destination that you should not pass up.

Why the best Rafting & Kayaking is in the Oriente:

The jungle rivers of the Amazon side of the Andes are generally bigger and have more consistent flows than their west-Andean counterparts. They are also by far the most clean and scenic rivers in all of Ecuador. Besides their exceptional whitewater, the rivers of eastern Ecuador also provide an opportunity to experience the incredible Amazon jungle and the rhythm of life of its native inhabitants.
