This magical trip into the jungle takes you to a clear water river surrounded by jungle and small Quechua indian settlements.

We depart from Quito early in the morning, driving towards the east through the town of Papallacta famous for its hot springs, and then down to the Amazon town of Tena. From here we continue our scenic drive on an old road that winds through the eastern slopes of the Andes, where we will settle into a friendly Quechua campsite on a beach by the river gorge. Afterwards, you may take a swim in the natural river pools which are a twenty minute walk away.

After breakfast and a safety talk, we put in and begin the exciting ride down the class III Jatunyacu River. This river features interesting wildlife and a spectacular landscape along with white water rapids that are mostly good waves. It will take us approximately 6 hours to reach our next campsite near Puerto Napo.

We'll enjoy an easy-going morning floating down the Jatunyacu to the town of Misahualli, through beautiful jungle scenery and pristine waters. We will stop at small beaches for swimming and wildlife observation. We return to Quito in the evening.
