We ensure you’re fully geared up, from helmets to wetsuits, paddles to the raft itself, for an adventure of a lifetime.
The pulse-pounding excitement begins with just a short drive to the Chuquicahuana section of the famed Urubamba River. As your raft hits the water, brace yourself for an adrenaline surge.
