We are a U.S. based travel operator with locations in the U.S and Ecuador. Although Endless River Adventures specializes in Ecuador travel, we offer trips to Costa Rica, and our North American destination in the beautiful North Carolina mountains. For over 25 years, Endless River Adventure’s mission is to promote Latin American culture, bio-diversity and beautiful landscapes to people abroad, while providing them the best experience they can have while traveling with us. We do this by offering private packages with personalized service to each and every one of our guests, and by tailoring our packages and activities to meet the exact needs of each traveler.

The focus is simple: design a package that meets our customer’s needs, price it very well, and provide excellent guides that will make the experience the best it can be.

Rio Quijos Ecolodge in Ecuador

From the lodge we have easy access to the Paramo, the Andean Cloud Forest, the Upper Tropical Forests and the Amazon Basin which is the home to over 600 bird species. Our EcoLodge in the Quijos Valley is nestled on the banks of the Quijos River. Surrounded by 40 acres of nature, you will go to sleep to the sound of the river and wake to the sound of a collection of extraordinary birds. Our Ecolodge is fast becoming an International Birdwatching Destination. Our list of identified species continues to grow every year. Our private beach is the perfect launch spot for kayaking and rafting, as well as the location for our yoga center.

Whether you need a break from the fast pace of Quito, or are looking to explore the Oriente of Ecuador during your visit, the lodge is a perfect destination for enjoying the flora and fauna of the Quijos Valley. You will spend time at the RioQuijos EcoLodge and Reserve. The landmark eco-lodge of the Oriente, with land registered with the “media ambiente” for conservation. Imagine where you can walk down to the river, right to your lodge! There is no better location in the Oriente.
