Rafting in Ecuador
Rafting in Ecuador is a popular adventure travel activity.
Ecuador has some of the best river rafting in South America thanks to the high mountain peaks of the Andes.
Rafting in Ecuador is usually done on a day trip, a several night overnight trip, or a week-long rafting trip.
The best river rafting in Ecuador can be done on the Blanco River near Quito, the Caoni River, the Toachi River, the Upano River in the Amazon, and the Mulate River.
The best time of year for river rafting in Ecuador is from February to June, as the rivers are at their best flow during this period.
