River Rafting on the Apurimac

Rafting and fully-serviced camping Daily from Cusco 4 days, 3 nights Just a 4-hour drive from Cusco through the Andes, the Apurimac canyon is rapidly gaining a reputation for exhilarating white-water rafting, With over 160 rapids, it is now considered one of the ten best rafting destinations in the world. The foaming rapids (ranging from classes 2-5) are wild and energetic, and your enjoyment of the thrills and spills of a 3-day rafting descent is enhanced by views of towering mountains. There are spotless sandy beaches for camping, in an environment rich with wildlife, including otters and puma. The topography of the rafting route varies: you may be negotiating boulders, with some portage necessary, elsewhere you float dreamily down a tranquil stretch of river.
