Urubamba River Rafting

Full-day whitewater rafting adventure on the Urubamba River (typically the Chuquicahuana/Cusipata section). Drive ~2 hours from Cusco to the put-in. After safety briefing and gear-up (wetsuit, helmet, life jacket), spend about 2 hours rafting down Class II-III rapids under the guidance of a professional rafting guide. Navigate fun rapids (moderate but exciting) while surrounded by beautiful canyon scenery. Conclude with a picnic lunch by the river. Some operators have a base camp with hot showers, sauna, or even a zipline for after the rafting. This thrilling yet moderate rafting trip is suitable for beginners and a great way to experience the Sacred Valley’s nature.
