TENA (ECUADOR)



We decided to go to Tena to book a longer trip into the jungle again but under the rainy circumstances we arrived we didn't take the risk of paying and maybe get rained of. Instead we were hanging around for a few days sleeping long, eating lots, playing pool and drinking beer. Isn't that the way how traveling is suppose to be sometimes too?

At least be booked a wild water rafting trip (class 3) to have something to talk about. Going through all the procedures of how, when and where to raft and sit, what to do if the boat flips over and how to swim in the strong current we started to get a bit nervous. After a few meters in the water there was no way back and it turned out to be an amazing trip with lots of laughter. The current was very strong at times, we got thrown over board so many times by our guide and our boat flipped over once but we all managed well. We really didn't think it would be so much fun, it was worth the money and we would do it again any time but the next time with suncream, we got badly burned in our faces.
