Hola!



The last five days have been spent in Baeza, which is a small sleepy town on the eastern side of the Andes. So far we have boated six different runs in the area, We had a few class IV warm ups on El Chaco canyon, which was very scenic, and had some good waves and holes to bounce around in. Our first Creek was the Consanga, which was also very scenic, and had some great rapids full of boofs and quick manuevering. So far the highlight of our trip has been the Quijos river on the Cheese House section, and the Bridge to bridge section. Our first attempt at the Cheese house section was going well, until It ended in a class V swim out of a huge hole, and then accompionied by the ecuadorian mile run to chase the boat. My M3 is well, quite dead and hopefully I´ll be able to sell it for a few hundred dollars. The next day we got another boat, and conquered both the Cheese House and the Bridge to Bridge. Both section were a riot with big holes boofs, boulder gardens and wave trains.These runs had it all, and the action did not let up for the whole six miles from the put in to take out.
We just arrived in Tena about 2 hours ago after a short bus ride through the Andes. We gettin ready for some more jungle Action, and will keep you posted, Ciao!
