End of content - How strenuous are the activities?
Start of content
This is a very active journey that includes transitioning to and from small watercraft and walking on uneven surfaces, up and down irregular stairs and on cobblestone streets. Activities include swimming, kayaking, a tower climb into a tree canopy, and both day and nighttime hiking. Some activities require rubber (wellington) boots, which will be provided for hiking on wet, muddy pathways. Bear in mind that some of this trip is located in Quito, which is at an elevation of 9,350 feet (2,800 meters) above sea level and many of the activities are outdoors in the prevailing conditions, which may include insects and weather with intense sun, rain, heat and humidity. The full range of activities requires a moderate amount of stamina in order to get the most out of your vacation.

Start of content
Children must be at least 7 years old at the time of travel on our Amazon Escape. This is based on several factors, such as flight time and jet lag, time zone differences in the destination, duration of the vacation, high altitude at the destination, extended hours of daily activity programming, number of internal transports between experiences, potential for extreme temperatures, and amount of physical activity (e.g., swimming, walking on uneven surfaces, up and down stairs, and cobblestone sidewalks). Because each child is different, call a Vacationista at (800) 543-0865† to discuss whether this is the right trip for your kids.
