Inca Trail, Machu Picchu Tours, Peru Tours

We have designed a new adventure for the rafting fans in the Apurimac whitewaters, discovering the canyon of the Apurimac, one of the most amazing places in Peru. Starting high up on the Andes between the Cusco & Arequipa regions is very important, because it is the starting point of the fabulous Amazon River, the biggest around the world; so you have many reasons to feel this extreme adventure.

Our private transport will pick you up at your hotel. We will arrive to 4,000 (masl.) then we will descend until 2,200m that is the starting point of the river expedition. And then we will have our safety briefing and the practice on the river, each passenger will have turns swimming in some moderates rapids so we will practice grabbing the safety kayaks and also securing rescue lines.
