Day 1 : Cotopaxi Adventure

Location: Mariscal Sucre Quito International Airport, Parque Nacional Cotopaxi

Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: Lunch

Embark on an exhilarating multisport adventure starting today, venturing southward to the awe-inspiring Cotopaxi National Park. The journey begins with a scenic car ascent to the parking lot situated at a remarkable altitude of 4,500 meters above sea level. From there, the real adventure unfolds as we commence our hike towards the Jose Ribas refuge at 4,800 meters, offering breathtaking panoramic vistas of up to eight majestic volcanoes on clear days. After a rejuvenating break with perhaps a steaming cup of tea or coffee, we press on, ascending to the glacier at a staggering altitude of 5,000 meters, where the air is thin and the views are truly otherworldly. Following a descent back to the refuge, where a sumptuous lunch awaits, you'll partake in a brief orientation session on the thrilling mountain biking leg of the journey to come. Then, with adrenaline pumping, you'll mount your bikes and embark on an exhilarating downhill ride towards Limpiopungo Lake, with a leisurely stroll around the lagoon to potentially glimpse wild horses in their natural habitat. As the day winds to a close, your adventure culminates at the Interpretation Center, where fascinating insights into Ecuador's volcanic activity await, providing a fitting conclusion to an unforgettable day of exploration and adrenaline-fueled excitement in the heart of the Andes.

Day 2 : Indigenous Market – Quilotoa Lagoon - Baños

Location: Quilotoa Lake

Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

After a delicious breakfast, we will head towards Saquisilí, Pujilí, or Zumbahua (depending on the weekday) to experience a traditional indigenous market. Try exotic fruits and enjoy the market atmosphere before continuing to the beautiful Quilotoa Lagoon.

Here, you will have the chance to hike a bit. Observe the lagoon and see how it changes colors depending on the sunlight! After enjoying your lunch, you will make a short stop at the Tigua community, before we will bring you to your next destination: Baños –Ecuador’s capital for outdoor activities!

Day 3 : Canyoning In Baños – Free Afternoon

Location: Banos

Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Box Lunch

Start your day with some adventure: today, canyoning is on your agenda! Leave Baños and spend the morning canyoning at Casahurco. Enjoy a wet, wild, and fun day full of adventure! Casahurco is one of the most thrilling sites in Ecuador and it is known as one of the world’s top locations for canyoning. The tour will be accompanied by a professional and certified guide and we will provide all the equipment and the round-trip transportation from and back to Baños.
The rest of the afternoon is at leisure. You could for example visit the famous “Casa del Arbol” and enjoy the feeling of swinging high above the clouds, or just stroll through the small town and enjoy a coffee or shop for some souvenirs.

Day 4 : Baños – Tena – Kayaking Anzu River (Class Ii)

Location: Tena

Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast

After breakfast, we will pick you up at your hotel in Baños. After driving for approx. 2,5 hours we will arrive at Tena and bring you to your hotel for the check-in and a short rest. In the afternoon, you will start your first activity for today: you’ll get fitted out with a kayak, paddle, buoyancy west, and helmet. Once ready, you’ll travel about half an hour to the put-in on the Anzu river. Upon arrival, your guide will give you a short briefing and take you step by step through different safety measures. The day is all about gaining confidence in the kayak and enjoying a relaxed day on the river! There’ll be opportunities to run small rapids and to just drift with the current.
At the end of the day, we celebrate a fun day on the river with an ice-cold beer or soft drink. From the take-out, we had back to Tena, where you will spend the night.

Day 5 : Rafting Upper Napo River (Class Iii – Iii+)

Location: Tena

Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

The Upper Rio Napo is also known locally as the Rio Jatunyacu, which means “big water” in Quichua. “Big” is probably the best word to describe this river – big waves and big fun! A great trip for both beginners and experts alike. No previous rafting experience is necessary.
After the breakfast, we head out into the jungle for about 45 minutes to our put-in site near the village of Cando. Once ready, the boat will push off from shore and within moments you will find yourself being drenched in the first rapids! After this first shot of adrenaline, the fun continues as you crash through walls of whitewater, explore a hidden canyon, drift silently along sheer river cliffs, and take a swim in the refreshing waters.
During this trip we will stop on a beach by the side of the river for a delicious picnic lunch that includes fresh tropical fruits and is served with soft drinks, juice and water. After the rafting adventure, you will be brought back to Tena for your overnight stay.

Day 6 : Rafting Jondachi River (Class Iii+ - Iv) – Hot Springs Of Papallacta – Quito

Location: Tena, Papallacta Hot Springs, Mariscal Sucre Quito International Airport

Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast, Box Lunch

The Jondachi is probably one of the most amazing rivers you will ever run in Ecuador! After breakfast, we will drive north towards the community of Mondayacu, from where we will start a short hike. Every paddler is handed a life jacket, helmet and paddle. Members of the community are hired as porters to carry the rafts and the all-important lunch coolers. The trail leads us up and down for about 20 minutes until arriving at a suspension bridge across the Jondachi river. The bridge is a vital link to the Quechua farms on the other side of the valley and serves us as the ideal platform to scout the first rapids.
Besides the thrilling rapids, it is the pristine jungle on both sides of the river that make the Jondachi such a unique experience, for beginners and experienced rafters alike.
During this trip, we will again stop at a riverside beach for a delicious picnic lunch. At the end of the rafting trip, we will of course celebrate the experience again with a cold beer or soft drink!

Our driver will be waiting for you to take you back to Quito. On the way, we will make a stop at the thermal springs of Papallacta where you can relax a little bit after all the activities of the last days. Afterwards, we will continue our journey back to Quito. Arrival time is approximately 8 PM but may be earlier or later depending on the traffic and weather. Your tour ends with the arrival in Quito.
