Additional Information

This Multisport Ecuador tour takes place in two different regions, traversing through the heights of the Andes, with its spectacular volcanoes, down into the lush Amazon basin. This is the ideal combination for guests who enjoy adventures with a wide variety of activities. This tour includes activities such as hiking into a crater lake, exploring a cave, canyoning in the jungle, paddling rapids in the amazon and hiking to glaciers. Join us for 6 days of pure adventure and adrenaline as we immerse ourselves in nature and make memories that will last a lifetime!

  • Optional Briefing: The day before your tour, one of the trip leaders will meet you at the meeting point hotel lobby (to be advised in your voucher of services) for a welcome briefing at around 6:00 PM. At this time, details and questions you may have regarding the adventure will be discussed.
  • Driving time can take more than expected in Ecuador, as it is a small country with roads meandering through the Andes mountains. We assure your comfort during transit no matter the size of the group.
  • Level of Activity: This trip is considered as 3 out of 5. No prior experience is required and your guides will always brief you about safety and proper use of gear on every leg of the trip. There will be a transport support for the majority of the activities in the case that someone wants to take a break or just wants to relax.
  • We do recommend traveling light for this expedition. A duffel bag of 50 litters for your luggage and a backpack of 20 litters for daily activities should be enough. In Ecuador, the weather can change drastically especially when you are moving from the Andes to the Amazon.
  • Guides: All our guides have a professional background from the Tourism University; this means they have a degree in guiding, so their knowledge and skills when leading a group are top-notch.
  • Inform yourself about food safety when traveling to tropical countries. Take the necessary precaution to avoid food poisoning (always wash your hands before eating, don’t eat ‘street food’, only eat peeled fruits, etc.).
  • It is important to have valid travel and medical insurance. Please inform us of any known medical conditions you have.
  • The operator reserves the right to change the itinerary without previous notice due to weather conditions, availabilities, National Park regulations or notifications and unforeseeable circumstances.
  • Please bring your own rain poncho. In the Amazon, the weather could change suddenly in the rainforest and you might get wet.
  • Please take with you some plastic bags, to protect your Camera and important documents from the rain in the Amazon. Also, a headlight, since it can get very dark during the night.
  • Accommodation is based on number of travelers, if you are traveling with a group, you will be sharing rooms (single rooms require an extra fee).

Fantastic, fun and fascinating trip - We had a terrific time and saw so many interesting, beautiful and amazing things. Rebecca Adventure Travel planned everything well, and communicated very effectively. Our tour guide, Daniel, was extremely knowledgable about culture, history, plants, animals and more. He took great care of us. The Cotapaxi lagoon hike was peaceful and pretty. The ride to Quilatoa crater lake and exploring Llanganates park were fascinating - Ecuadorian agriculture is quite impressive, and the people are so resourceful. The basic Amazon Lodge and canyoning were a highlight of the trip - super fun. Our tour was private, so made an extra stop at the Thursday morning Saquasili market, which was a fantastic way to see the fruits, vegetables, fish, meat and other foods of Equador, and to mix with the local people. We also added the Guango lodge onto our tour, where we saw about 10 species of hummingbirds, and a torrent duck - a very impressive swimmer in the current and rapids! There were lots of gorgeous things to look at around Banos, such as the Pailon del Diablo waterfall. The Banos zoo was really terrific - it's not only got very active, interactive animals, but the views from the zoo are great. It was also fun to walk around in Banos in the evenings.

Cotopaxi - This company did a fantastic job organizing a last minute trip for my husband and I to hike Cotopaxi and various areas inside the park. They arranged all the transportation and took care of providing all the gear. They were able to create this whole trip for us a week before we departed! Highly recommend using them!

Amazing Adventure! - This was the trip of a lifetime! Everything was organized so that everyday was as good or better than the last. From hiking up volcanos to see a beautiful crater lake to hiking to basecamp below a glacier the views were amazing! We also biked down a mountain and went whitewater rafting. All the equipment and support along the way was top notch and the people that supported us treated us like family!! This was a trip I will never forget and look forward to booking another trip with them!!!
