highlights

This exciting white water river rafting expedition is rated among the best of world Class Rivers.

We start our trip from Cusco 3,385 mts. driving for 4 hours across the Andes down to the Apurimac River, (in the native quechua language meaning “the Gods Speaker “ ).

 This river is also the most direct source of the Amazon making it the longest river in the world …We put-in at 1,900 mts. It will take us about two hours to prepare all the equipment using only state of the art self bailing rafts and catarafts. 
We´ll have lunch and raft down to our first camp. All the meals are prepared by our staff on a campfire under the night sky of the Southern Hemisphere.
At one point we arrive to a narrow canyon with an impossible rapid where we have to do a portage for about 300 mts. Most of the time we will be rafting class III and IV rapids , but we also have a few class IV + and V rapids, among the wildlife ; in this remote and  isolated canyon we could find river otters, bob cats, foxes, torrent ducks, cormorants etc.
