COMMITMENT TO SAFETY
The
Yacu Amu Rafting team not only endevours to give you a
memorable experience but a safe one too.
A comprehensive safety briefing will be given at the start
of every trip and each crew will be trained in the paddling
techniques needed to navigate our way down the river.
We use top of the line specialized
rafting equipment to ensure your safety and enjoyment.
That includes self-bailing rafts, high floation life jackets,
protective helmets and light weight paddles.
We carry First Aid, raft repair and river rescue kits
on every trip - and our guides are trained to use them!
We always have at least two guides on every trip and utilize
safety kayakers where appropriate.
We carry a cellular telephone where appropriate for emergency
communication.
We aim to continue setting the standards for safety and
professionalism in the rafting industry in Ecuador.
COMMITMENT
TO THE ENVIRONMENT
Yacu
Amu Rafting is fully committed to conserving the rivers
and wild places we travel in. River travel in itself is
a very low impact activity but we ensure our trips leave
only shouts of delight on the wind and take only enduring
memories.
