You can experience all this with Surtrek Tour Operator in Ecuador and other countries in South America. Jungle tours in the Amazon rainforest: To discover the remote protectorates of the Amazon in Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil will undoubtedly be an unforgettable experience and adventure in your life. The Amazon rainforest ecosystem offers a wide variety of flora (more than 25,000 different sorts of plants) and fauna. You can find lots of different species of palms, orchids, trees, vines as well as exotic animals like crocodiles, river turtles, monkeys and a diversity of birds, which presents itself frankly for bird watching. With a little bit of luck you can even see rare animal species like ocelots, sloths, tapirs, anacondas, Amazon river dolphins, jaguars or even harpy eagles on your expedition. Our program offers a broad spectrum of jungle excursions in Ecuador and South America from luxury lodges to expeditions in tents. In both cases we as a tour operator take care of an excellent organization of the tours. We provide multi-lingual naturalist guides, who know the Amazon jungle best and who will explain you all the secrets of the mysterious jungle, as well as native guides who are born in the jungle and know every corner of it. The size of the groups is between six and ten people. The groups are so small in order to keep the impact of tourism as low as possible. River rafting: Wild water rafting in Ecuador is a unique experience and at the same time an exciting adventure. Our tour program covers rafting tours from 1 to 5 days on Ecuador’s wild water rivers, which originate in the snow-capped volcanoes and flow down towards the coast or deep into the Amazon jungle. The rafting boat is led by an experienced captain. Special previous knowledges are not required. The safety regulations for a trouble-free course of rafting are learned easily. For your security we provide during every rafting excursion rescue kayaks so you can enjoy this experience without any worries. We offer also kayak tours in the jungle, at the coast and around the Galápagos islands. Light until moderate Andes trekking: We offer these trekking tours between 3-5 days through the Andean highlands (open Andean grasslands of South America on 2500-4500 meter height) with overnight stays in tents. During these trekking tours you will admire wonderful sceneries with a variety of Andean flora and fauna and the possibility exists to even see some condors drifting by. Your luggage is carried by packhorses and you only have to carry your light daypack. On the plateaus in the Andes we normally follow good paths, which can also change into cross country and even swamps. For these trekkings you should be in relatively good shape (daily 4-6 hours of walking) and be able to adjust also mentally on physical demands. Bigger trekkings and expeditions: These adventure tours are only for good mountain hikers or persons who have experience with mountain climbing as they lead on Andean trails on great heights. On long distances of these trekkings there are immense differences in height to overcome. The overnight stays take place in tents. In these areas of the Andes there are no packhorses so that you have to carry your luggage yourself during the trekking. The participants of these trekking tours must be physically and mentally very fit to adjust fast to the changing circumstances. However, for these efforts you are rewarded with a unique animal- and plant world like pumas, tapirs or spectacle bears. Mountain biking: The geographical diversity of Ecuador offers a variety of possibilities for mountain biking tours. We offer tours through almost untouched nature or long biking tours from the Andes that will bring you into the deeper regions of the jungle and the coast. We offer extreme off-road adventures for everybody, from beginners in the world of biking until a real professional. While mountain biking you can get to know Ecuador from different sides because you will also reach remote spots. If you are physically fit and have some experience, it is even possible to cross the whole country from the jungle over the Andes to the Pacific coast. In whatever tour you might be interested, our service (4WD escort car, etc.) and our bikes (high-quality equipment) guarantee a relaxed and unforgettable biking experience. Horseback riding: As we only use reliable, good-natured horses from which some of them are extremely calm and other ones full of temperament, our tours are suitable for beginners and children as well as for experienced riders. Nevertheless we rather advise beginners to take short tours because the unusual muscular demands and concentration while riding can become demanding in the long run. For longer rides you should have at least some experience, a good physical shape as well as a healthy thirst for adventure. On most tours partly difficult sections must also be overcome by foot. The weight of the participants should not exceed 195 pounds.
