You head out from Cusco for the spectacular drive to the Apurimac canyon, hopefully glimpsing en route the snow-capped Vilcanota mountain range before descending into the canyon to start your Apurimac rafting adventure.
Here your guides will inflate your rafts and load them up with provisions for the journey ahead. Following a full safety talk and instruction in the art of white water rafting, you cast off into the Black Canyon of the Apurimac.
For the next two days you enjoy some of the least visited, but in our opinion best Peru rafting.
The river enters a truly impressive steep-sided gorge where you run many excellent class III and IV rapids. In between the rapids, there are relaxing floats through breath-taking scenery. You also have the opportunity to get out and explore waterfalls and colonial bridges.
At night you camp on a deserted beach and enjoy great food, a few drinks and great camaraderie around the campfire.

More great Apurimac rafting today. Depending on water levels there may be the odd portage between the fun rapids. There are also stretches to just sit and float down the river and enjoy being in this fantastic location.
Keep an eye out as you go for Andean Foxes, Torrent Ducks, otters and even Condors.
Finally, you reach a break in the canyon walls in time for lunch. From here it is a four hour drive back to Cusco, with views of the towering snow-capped Salkantay Mountain along the way.
