   Run Description

The Quijos starts out technical and steep and quickly grows in size as feeder streams pour in out of the Amazon. The majority of its runs are located upstream of 475-foot San Rafael Falls, the highest waterfall in the country. The river's lowest run starts a few miles below the falls and involves a two-hour walk for a three-day Class III-IV wilderness run. In all, the river offers about 100 miles of whitewater. All of the river's runs have good access, except the headwaters (Class IV-V) which involves a nine-hour, machete-wielding walk into the wilds of the Andes. "Don and I did the first and probably only descent of it two years ago," says Vermeeren.. Most of the bigger-volume sections below the confluence of the Rio Cosanga have great play spots and are pool/drop in nature. Vermeeren likes the Quijos area so much that he recently built his company’s lodge right beside it, just east of the town of Baeza.
