Toachi One Day

Leaving Quito by bus early in the morning (7 a.m.)  we drive south through the “Avenue of the Volcanoes”, cross a 13,000ft pass and then begin a rapid and tortuous 2-hour descent towards the Toachi river.  On arrival, we receive basic instructions in paddle rafting and then we’re off for white water action!  Normally, we can expect three hours of exhilaration and buffeting, coupled with languid moments as we silently drift through tropical rainforests where a rich abundance of bird life can be seen, though such is dependent on the water level. Don’t expect to stay dry! 
After a picnic lunch we return to Quito.

Price includes:

• Guide (rafting specialist and English-speaking)
• Private transportation
• Box lunch
• Rafting equipment: (raft, life jacket, paddles, helmets and all standard safety equipment)

Not included:

• Extras

WHAT TO BRING

A T-shirt, bathing suit and sneakers (which will get wet) or Teva sandals, towel, set of dry clothing and shoes for after the river running, water proof windbreaker, insect repellent, sunblock, hat and sunglasses with a safety strap.  We provide water-proof bags for your camera and binoculars.

Note:
If the Toachi river water level is too high during the rainy season we may alternate with another river in the area.
