Anyone tried rafting in Banos?

11 years ago

I saw where Banos was a touristy place with whitewater rafting trips. It sounds like a cool town to see, and I think I'll make the bus trip there from Quito. The websites make it sound as if the food and hotel prices are still relatively cheap for a tourist area.

Have any of you guys been on the rafting trip? Is it as awesome as it sounds? Are the tour operators professional and capable of providing a safe rafting trip? Is the bus trip from Quito to Banos rough or fairly pleasant?

I'd like to have an idea of what I'm getting everyone into if I convince some hostel friends to make the trip. :)
