This town has a great party vibe and has amazing good steep creeking around, but the real reason you go here for is for the RIO TOPO. Tena is only 2 hours away dropping East into the tropical jungle to 1500 feet (600m) where water is warm and weather is HOT. Great rivers all around with variety of styles of jungle creeking and bigger water. The Quijos (Kee’-Hos) Valley keeps good water levels for most of the year and Baeza (Bah-Eh-za) has become the most popular hub for whitewater kayakers in Ecuador. This is the rain forest so rain is expected, but it can go for weeks with no rain, there is always kayaking here unless is too much water. The peak of kayaking season is December and January and also happens to be dryest months. Kayaking in Ecuador goes year around but the international kayakers season is between October and March. The Andes split the country in 3 main regions, Costa Sierra and Oriente this last one being the on the East slopes of the massive mountain range are the headwaters of the Amazonas river the biggest volume river in the world, all this water coming down from the Andes are part of our playgrounds and the best and closest place for any kayaker that come to visit Ecuador.
We are usually more concerned about having too much water!! There are so many rivers to choose from once you are down here it's just amazing and all depends on the amount of precipitation. In general you will find continuous whitewater, pristine, clean, round boulder gardens with endless fun and boofs. Everyone has fun here from beginners to pro's, you decide how much fun and how big you want to go. We have it all when we talk about rivers and whitewater, the high concentration of rivers in such a small area with the extreme geography and amazing geology makes of Ecuador one of the top 5 world's best whitewater kayaking destinations.
