2-DAY RAFTING EXPEDITION TO THE SOURCES OF THE AMAZON

2-DAY RAFTING EXPEDITION TO THE SOURCES OF THE AMAZON

Take your spirit of adventure to the limit on a unique rafting expedition down the Apurímac River, considered one of the best rafting destinations in South America and the main source of the Amazon.

The trip begins very early in Cusco with private transportation to the spectacular Apurímac Canyon. Upon arrival, our internationally certified professional guides (IRF/ACA) will provide a comprehensive safety briefing and paddling practice to ensure everyone is prepared.

During the trip, you’ll tackle thrilling Class IV and V rapids, surrounded by towering granite walls, pristine nature, and breathtaking Andean landscapes. Between rapids, you can swim, relax, and enjoy the wild surroundings.

At the end of the first day, we’ll arrive at a beautiful beach where our team will set up a comfortable campsite right by the river. You’ll enjoy snacks, hot drinks, and a delicious dinner around the campfire under a star-filled sky.

The second day begins with fresh coffee and breakfast before continuing the adventure downstream through more intense rapids until we reach the Cunyac Bridge, the final stop of the expedition, after which we return comfortably to Cusco.

This experience is ideal for adventurous travelers seeking an adrenaline rush, a connection with nature, and a true river expedition.
