The Trip-Finder, January 1998 Ecuador Kayaking the Quijos The Route: Seven to nine days of Class III, IV, and IV+ whitewater on a virtually unpaddled river and two of its tributaries. When to go: November to February Difficulty: Strenuous Travel advisory: This is a trip for advanced kayakers only. The river’s remoteness and densely vegetated shores make walking out impossible, so you must complete each day’s run, no matter what. High/low points: Honing your technique on what may be the best assortment of surfing waves in the world. Having to paddle past perfect surfing waves in order to conserve energy for the rapids.
