The upper Rio Napo is also known locally as the Rio Jatunyacu, which means BIG WATER in Quichua. Big is probably the best word to describe this river: Big water, big waves and big fun! The adventure begins where the road ends, in a remote spot in the jungle. This is the highest accessible point of the Rio Napo. Only a handful of scattered Quichua families live this far in. The fun begins immediately with large rapids and roller coaster size waves, intermingled with some calm pools that give you a chance to fully relax and take in the spectacular scenery. This is our most popular rafting trip. No previous rafting experience is necessary!
