Ecuador has quickly earned its well deserved reputation as one of the world's top kayaking destinations. Ecuador's jungle boasts more rivers per square mile than almost anywhere else in the world.

The jungle town of Tena has become the kayaking hub of Ecuador.  It has a greater concentration of rivers than any other town in Ecuador, making it easy to access a lot of different runs all from one comfortable base. From Tena you can access 7 different rivers and over 12 different river sections, all within a one hour drive from town.  The whitewater you will find among these runs includes everything from class II, for those just getting their feet wet in the sport, to class V for experts.
