River Rafting Cusco Peru Cusco is most definitely the rafting capital of Peru offering popular 1 or 2 day trips on the Urubamba River and 3 or 4 day trips on the exciting whitewaters of the Apurimac River. For a really adventurous trip try the Tambopata River in Peru's south eastern jungle. Starting high in the altiplano, north of Puno, the first 4 days on the river are spent negotiating some exciting whitewater rapids. The following 3 days are spent drifting through the Tambopata Candamo Reserved Zone. Only a few companies offer this trip from Cusco including 2 days of transportation just to get to the river followed by a further 1 day transfer and flight out of the jungle at the end of the trip. The Cotahuasi and Colca Canyons near to Arequipa provide some excellent technical rafting suitable for very experienced rafters. If you are looking for spectacular views but prefer a little less demanding river then a trip on the Majes River (Arequipa) may be more your scene. Other rivers suitable for rafting include the Santa River in Ancash (Huaraz) which is popular with Peruvians, fairly easy and passes through some beautiful countryside. |
