Jondachi Fest 2016 (Ecuador)
The Jondachi River was slated to be dammed in January 2015. Last year, the international paddling community rallied together with the Ecuadorian counterparts in an unprecedented expression of impassioned solidarity to create the first-ever Jondachi Fest. Jondachi Fest is a grass-roots, volunteer-driven, not-for-profit river festival and whitewater kayak competition that makes an urgent call to preserve the iconic Jondachi River as part of a FREE-FLOWING watershed corridor from the Andes to the Amazon.
