You’ll gear up with high-quality rafting equipment, including life jackets, helmets, and wetsuits, ensuring you’re ready for the adventure ahead.
Once you’re suited up, it’s time to hit the water! The Urubamba River here offers thrilling Class II and III rapids, making it perfect for both beginners and those seeking moderate excitement. For about two and a half hours, you’ll paddle through the rushing waters, guided by our experienced team. The rapids are exhilarating, but the ride is always safe and manageable. Along the way, you’ll be surrounded by breathtaking views of the Andean mountains, lush greenery, and the vibrant riverbanks.
After an adrenaline-filled adventure, it’s time to unwind. You’ll change into dry clothes and enjoy a hearty lunch at a serene riverside spot. The meal is not just delicious but also a chance to recharge while soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. The sound of the river and the fresh mountain air make this a truly relaxing moment.
With full bellies and happy memories, the journey back to Cusco begins. The drive takes you once again through the picturesque Andean scenery, a perfect way to reflect on the day’s adventure.
