Some of the best rivers for White Water rafting in South America are in the mountains surrounding Cusco, so if you want to give it a try this is the place! All our one day trips run various sections of the Urubamba River, around 1 and a half hours from Cusco. This is the same river which flows through the Sacred Valley and was worshipped by the Incas as the ‘Bringer of Life’.
This is an activity to get the adrenaline pumping, as well as offering unique views of the Andes in remote places hard to reach by road.
The levels of rapid vary depending on time of year, but the rapids on these one day trips never exceed Level 4. All guides are fully trained in white water rescue and first aid, and can read the rivers and know exactly what to expect throughout the year. You don’t need any experience at all to do the river rafting (you just need to know how to swim). However, if you do have experience and want something more challenging we can offer trips for you too.
We pick you up at your hotel with our private transportation at 09:00 am, after one and 20 minutes drive we arrive to the put-in at the shores of “Cusipata River Camp” our private campground. Our professional Rafting Guides will give you a safety talk and provide you with all the proper equipment for Rafting. You would be floating for approximately two and a half hours, running class II, introductory type rapids. Afterwards, we will drive back and spend the night at our lodge, where we have a thatched roof camping area with comfortable dining place, a sauna and hot tub, hammocks and excellent food. You will fall asleep under the whisper of the river (L, D)
After a relaxing Sauna and a good night sleep, we get up for a healthy breakfast and drive up river to the CHUQUICAHUANA section of the river, where we will be running class III, rapids. We will include some extra safety such as Kayaker or a Cataracts. After about 2 and a half hours, we arrive back to “Cusipata River Camp”, where a Lunch will be served. Afterwards we drive back to Cusco arriving in the late afternoon. (B, L)
