Description
The Upano River is a great river for beginners and experts alike. The Rio Upano has challenging but manageable whitewater, incredible scenery, good hiking trails and beautiful riverside camps. Add the area’s amazing cultural history, and contact with the Shuar Indians that live along the rivers banks and you’ve got a rafting adventure that’s physically, mentally and spiritually invigorating.
The whitewater rafting in the Upano River begins with alternating wide valleys and narrow canyons. Class III rapids provide plenty of continuous fun-filled roller coaster rides. We’ll enter a towering canyon where massive waterfalls tumble hundreds of feet before crashing into the Rio Upano. The narrow canyon walls constrict the river and massive boulders create numerous Class III and IV whitewater rapids, guaranteeing an action-packed ride.
