Quito-Ecuador,

7 amazing days in the Amazon of Ecuador. This program gives you the chance not only to learn BUT to apply and practice those new skills. Discover a new and exciting country, its rivers and become a Whitewater Rescue Technician L4.

Day 1:

Day 4:

Rigging Skills and Craft-Pins will be the focus today. Learning how to properly use a river rope and all the accessories to create advantage systems is essential. Be ready to play with ropes and knots in and out of the water for the whole day!
