The adventure
Speed is the watchword for this high-adrenaline active tour around Ecuador. Across nine action-packed days, you’ll bike or horseback ride near Cotopaxi (an Andean stratovolcano), raft down rushing rivers, trek the lush foothills of Baños, and much, much more. Best of all, you’ll always travel with an experienced and passionate Chief Experience Officer (CEO) who knows the quickest and most scenic routes to wherever you’re headed. Remember, you’re here for a great time, not a long time; slather on that sunscreen, strap on your helmet, and hit the ground running!
Arrive at any time.
Travel by bus into the Amazon Basin and enjoy the incredible scenery en route to the jungle town of Tena. Watch as it changes from towering mountains to lush jungle, passing by waterfalls and deep river valleys. Upon arrival, get active and cycle to the nearby community of Shandia, where you'll discover the beauty of the Amazon with a member of the local community as your guide.
Navigate the wild Jatunyaku River in the surrounding lush cloud forest. The cool water and air make this an excellent change from the tropical Amazon climate. Return to Tena for the night.
Travel by local bus to Baños, a town surrounded by lush cloud forest. In the afternoon, you will visit Pailón del Diablo and walk up the winding steps to the waterfall. Then, visit the famous Casa del Arbol perched on a hilltop where you can see Volcán Tungurahua on a clear day. Perhaps test your fear of heights and try one of the swings that whoosh over the huge drop below dubbed the "edge of the world".
Transfer by private vehicle to the start point of the trek into Llanganates National Park. Enjoy spectacular scenery of the Tunguragua Volcano while trekking into the park through lush cloud forest. Spend the night camping under the stars enjoying nature at its best.
