Rafting in Baños: 4 activities in one day

Four adventure sports in one day on Ecuador's best rafting river

A full-day activity combining rafting, canopy, canyoning and bungee jumping in Baños, Ecuador. You start with 28 kilometers of rafting on a river ranked among the world's best, then move through three more activities across the afternoon. Lunch and photos are included. An air-conditioned vehicle handles transport between sites. Live guides speak English and Spanish.

The experience

The day opens at 9 AM with rafting on the Pastaza River, a 28-kilometer run classified as one of the world's premier rafting rivers. The pace mixes adventure with time to take in the landscape. The operator's stated goal is a safe, engaging day rather than a sprint. Lunch and photos of the run are included.

At 2:30 PM you move to canopy: an 800-meter cable ride out over El Manto del Novia waterfall, then a 500-meter return line, both strung 300 meters above the cascade. By 3:30 PM you're canyoning in La Cascada de Chamana, descending four waterfalls with the final drop, La Cascada del Silencio, at 50 meters. At 5:30 PM comes bungee jumping from the Puente de San Francisco bridge, a 100-meter leap. An air-conditioned vehicle moves the group between each site.
