Rafting is one of the most interesting and fun activities to do in Cusco, and definitely one that can’t be missed. The Urubamba river starts in the Andean heights and winds through the Sacred Valley of Incas, and Machu Picchu, until it reaches the Peruvian rainforest. On this tour we will take a 1-day hike that includes Class I, II, II and whitewater rafting, with excellent views of the river, giant trees, and beautiful indigenous flora.
Itinerary
Day 1: RAFTING & ZIP LINE
Our trip starts with pick-up at the hotel and transportation to the river camping area at Cusipata, in the south of Cusco; we will leave our stuffs here before embarking on our rafting adventure. You can also enjoy amenities such as hot water showers, baths, a sauna, and a comfortable dining hall at the camping area.
Our professional rafting guides will provide all the necessary equipment for our rafting experience; these include a rafting helmet, a life jacket, paddles, and a self-rescue raft. After the guides present the necessary information about the rafting service and safety measures, we will begin our route down the river aboard inflatable rafts. There are Class II and Class III+ rapids in this section of the river. After two hours of floating time, we will head back to the camping area at Cusipata for a delicious lunch. Next, our guides will give you the necessary information regarding another exciting activity: ZIP LINING. Our zip line consists of 2 wires, which are 120 meters long each. Once over, we will pack our belongings and go back to Cusco, arriving at approximately 5:30 pm.
