Toachi and Blanco Rivers One day trip
The Toachi and Blanco Rivers are a fantastic introduction to the rivers of Ecuador. Flowing off the coastal side of the Andes they have some of the longest navigable sections of whitewater in the country. Combine this with the sights and sounds of the forest environment we pass through and you´re guaranteed a day to remember.

The day starts... when we pick you up from our meeting point. Transport to Santo Domingo de los Colorados, from where we driver approximately 15 minutes to the put-in where the adventure starts. Before setting off we will fit you with life jackets and helmets, give you a comprehensive safety briefing and train each crew in the paddling techniques needed to navigate our way down the river.
Once on the river... you can expect both the action of thrilling whitewater and the tranquility of drifting silently through tropical rainforests. So while you´re guaranteed to get wet, you´ll also have the opportunity to be absorbed by the sounds of the forest and to see wildlife up close from our mobile ¨viewing platform¨.
