Travelled from La Concordia via Quito to collect Oleg and Olga and then on to Baeza in Ricky's spare truck or camioneta. It was a perfect truck for the kayak and the catamaran!
At Baeza we stayed at casa de Rodrigo and Rodrigo drove shuttles for us on the Quijos. Here he is curiously lookingh on as Oleg and Olga prepare their Kulik for our first run.
Cheesehouse section followed by Bridge to Bridge. Continuous rapids which at times reach 4 plus.
The catamaran flippoed once at an awkward ledge where the Quijosd dumped them vertically into a steep pourover, but we rescued it all quickly!
The river was a good test for the manouevring capabilities of the cat and the crew!
This was the week of carnival in Ecuador and New Baeza was in party mode........
.........with lots of mud and water slinging..........we got a soaking too!!
..........and lots of loud music!
Chris, back in Cody's Jefe on the Quijos.
