Whitewater Kayaking in Ecuador…Warning, You Might Get Wet [Video]
Ecuador has quickly earned its well-deserved reputation as one of the world’s top kayaking destinations. Its jungle boasts more rivers per square mile than almost anywhere else in the world. And the whitewater you will find among these runs includes everything from class II, for those just getting their feet wet in the sport, to class V for experts.
Why Kayak Ecuador?
- Great paddling when it’s cold and nasty in North America and the UK
- An amazing choice of rivers
- Warm water
- Sub tropical climate
- Exotic jungle setting
- Cheap accommodation, food, and transportation
- Easy logistics
- Clean, pristine rivers
The main place kayakers hang out is Tena, a pleasant, laid back, friendly town on the edge of the Andean Foothills and the Amazon basin and about 5 hours drive from Quito. There are about 8 different day runs here, all within an hours drive so most paddlers spend most of there time based in Tena.
