Itinerary
Meeting Place
Quito Airport/Hotel
Tena/Archidona, Kayak Ecuador's Headquarters
We believe it is essential to not only teach students fundamental kayaking maneuvers, but to also prepare paddlers to mentally deal with problems that appear in the river. So, new kayakers have a worthwhile learning experience and they can improve their skills and abilities.
Day 1:
Hotel/Airport Pick Up and Transfer to Tena. Quito, the capital of the country is located 3 hours away from our Headquarters. We are going to travel from the Andean city of Quito (9 350,4 ft) to the Amazon basin. Afternoon session to select and learn all about our Kayaks and Gear
Day 2:
Confort & Roll practice on the Misahuallí River + Descent of Tena River The second day we try to work on underwater comfort and your combat roll. To vary the class, we will also work on basic paddling and strokes and Swift Water Rescue.

What Guests Are Saying
I made the Kayak school for beginners with Santi. It was an amazing experience. Everyone was really friendly and competent. Santi is one of the best kayak guides in Ecuador. The landscapes that you are going to see are uniquely beautiful. You are going to see Ecuador from another perspective. Safety was a very important ...
- Rich - Düsseldorf, GermanyI'm a lifelong whitewater canoe tripper and instructor, just getting into whitewater kayaking. I took the 7-day course and I cannot recommend it highly enough! Santi is an INCREDIBLY patient and dedicated instructor; focused, passionate, and so invested in your progress. Despite running a busy business, he is totally focused on his students while on the water, and always checking in with you around the lodge. Dani and her team in the kitchen will blow you away with their creativity and adaptability. Food is fresh, protein-packed, and absolutely perfect for fueling paddlers. The rest of the facility is meticulously maintained, and the views of the jungle, mountains and the river feel surreal! While you're there, be sure to check out the local kids shredding the Misahualli River in the Amazon River Keepers program! This is a place that uses its knowledge and resources to support and grow their local paddling community from the ground up. Incredible knowledge, incredible skills, and just really, really good humans. You won't find better value for your money anywhere in the world, I'm sure of it!
