More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out into thin, copper-scented Andean air and the line of volcanoes cuts the skyline like a rough compass. Days later the humidity wraps you, and the Amazon’s rivers push and pull—inviting movement. This six-day shared multisport package threads two worlds: the high páramo where crater lakes and glaciers sit within walking distance, and the lowland Amazon where jungle canyons and rapids define the day.

Acclimatize in Quito
Arrive a day or two early to reduce altitude sickness risk—drink water and keep activity light for the first 24–48 hours.
Layer for extremes

Footwear matters
Bring sturdy boots with good ankle support for glacier approaches and sticky-soled river shoes for canyoning sections.
Hydration and electrolytes
High altitude and humid paddling days both deplete fluids—use a hydration bladder and bring electrolyte tabs.
Waterproof breathable shell
Protects from sudden mountain rain and jungle downpours while remaining ventilated.
Sturdy hiking boots
Supports ankles on rocky approaches to crater lakes and loose moraine near glaciers.
River shoes or sturdy sandals
Grip on wet rock during canyoning and comfort for wet Amazon paddling days.
