A fun day out in beautiful countryside
Spice up your Peru tour with some alternative adventure. Raft down a beautiful section of the Urubamba River and enjoy class three and four rapids. This Cusco one day rafting tour is suitable for almost all ages and abilities. If you are looking for something more adventurous try our one day Apurimac rafting adventure.
AndEscape offers you the best section of one day rafting in Cusco. The class III-IV Chuquicahuana section is located above Cusco, where the river is cleaner and more fun. You drive ninety minutes to the river where you can put on your wetsuit gear while your guides inflate your raft. You will have a full safety briefing and instruction in the art of white-water rafting.
Then you set off for approximately two hours of fun Cusco rafting, making the most of the gentle start to practice technique. The river then flows through a beautiful canyon, filled with fun rapids, torrent ducks and views of the surrounding peaks. Finally you reach the take out point and enjoy a full picnic lunch before returning to your hotel mid to late afternoon.
