HUGE SHOUT OUT TO OUR NORTH AMERICAN SPONSORS FOR THE JONDACHI RIVER FESTIVAL!Your contributions to the event are immeasurable and we can’t thank you enough for your continued support. Thanks to @immersionresearch and @nrsweb for the amazing gear donations. They were used at prizes for the Upper Jondachi Race and for the events at Puerto Misahualli which included a beginner kayaker race and a Junior kayaker race (15 years and younger). We are proud that we gave out equal prizes for men’s and women’s races.Thanks to @jackson.kayak for donating a Jackson Clutch that we used as a fundraising incentive to raise money to keep the Jondachi Festival going. The money raised went towards the following:Watershed forum—community engagementIntercollegiate Water Quality Monitoring and Conservation of the AmazonUpper Jondachi RaceLower Jondachi/Hollin group descent in rafts and kayaksRios Vivos exhibition in Puerto Misahualli Rafting for beginners in Puerto MisahualliDownriver races in Puerto Misahualli that included these categories:DUGOUT CANOES DRAGON BOATS KAYAKS KIDS JUNIOR PRO WOMEN (15+)MEN (15+)TANDEM SIT-ON-TOP The Jondachi Festival with the Jondachi chapter and the Puerto Misahualli chapter have become the most important river event for kayakers, rafters, and non-whitewater people in the region. The idea is to bring people together to celebrate free-flowing rivers, share our cultures, and spread the love and idea of a protected river corridor stretching from the Urqusiqui—Jondachi—Hollin—Misahualii-Napo. Thank you sponsors, and we look forward to working with you next year!#riosturísticos #rioslibres ... See MoreSee Less
