Day 1
Arrival at around 13 pm. Briefing and lunch. At 15 pm we will start our activities. We will be taken to the “Jumandy Caves”, one of the most outstanding attractions of the Napo Province. Here you will be able to swim through a cave, submerge yourself in water holes, learn about how the indigenous warriors “Jumandy” hid himself and his tribe for months from the Spanish conquerors that were in search of “El Dorado”. Stalagmites and Stalactites, as well as bats and scorpions are part of this unique adventure. Back at the lodge, you can relax in our “hot tub” and enjoy the first sunset. Dinner.
Day 2
After breakfast we will take you to the close by community “Mondayacu”, where a native guide will be expecting you to take you on one of the most exciting walk through the jungle until you reach the fascinating “Grand Canyon”. This place is surrounded by rocks, waterfalls, trees and caves. The Ñachi River is the name of the river that runs through the canyon. Its Kichwa name, “Ñachi”, comes from the type of fish found in the river. Here you’ll be able to observe birds that perch in the different spots in the caves, in the canyon and the great variety of plants and trees.
From here you’ll go upriver through an enormous cave to reach a deep lagoon. You can jump into the lagoon from a ledge 10 meters high and see the Jondachi River, just a few minutes from the canyon. The entire trip makes for an unforgettable experience. Afterwards, we will return along the same path and stop at a Kichwa family home. You will take a packed lunch with you.
Back at the lodge, you can relax in our “hot tub”and enjoy the first sunset. Dinner.
Day 3
After breakfast you will be taken to the city of Tena (aprox. 25 min drive). We will drive you deep into the jungle at Cando.
There you will be equipped with a life jacket, helmet, and paddle, and on rare cold days a splash jacket. Fully equipped, your guide will take you through all the safety briefings, including some fun, but serious, role playing.
Then, it’s time to get into the “Jatunyacu” river, a majestic stretch of water that is just perfect for beginners, with wide open spaces and large waves. But it’s also fun for more experienced adventurers, thanks to large volume rapids.
Go downriver through a beautiful landscape, mastering outstanding rapids, and experiencing the adrenaline rush of the white water. A delicious lunch will be served on the river bank, while at the end of your rafting adventure; you’ll be refreshed with complimentary cold beverages.
A safety Kayaker will always make sure you are safe, even if you fall into the river!
