Cusco – Chiquicahuana – Cusco
Your adventure-filled day kicks off with a convenient hotel pickup in Cusco at around 8:50 a.m. Sit back and enjoy the scenic drive as our private transport whisks you towards the serene Cusipata River Lodge, nestled amidst picturesque landscapes. This 1.5-hour journey is a visual treat, offering panoramic views of the Andean countryside.
Upon arriving at the lodge, take some time to stretch, unwind, and store any personal belongings securely. It’s here that our expert river guides will welcome you into the thrilling world of river rafting. Get ready for an informative session on safety protocols and rafting commands. 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. The river’s Class III and IV rapids offer a thrilling challenge, complete with towering waves and exhilarating drops. Accompanied by a safety kayaker, your rafting experience promises both safety and heart-pounding excitement. Over two hours, battle the roaring rapids and soak in the breathtaking scenery along the river.
After conquering the rapids, return to the comfort and warmth of the Cusipata River Lodge. Here, a delicious lunch awaits, perfect for recounting the day’s adventures with fellow rafters. Treat yourself to a sauna session, a soothing reward for your day of physical exertion.
The adventure doesn’t stop at rafting. Prepare for a sky-high thrill with ziplining over the Urubamba River. With two ziplines, each around 120 meters long, experience the exhilaration of flying above the river, adding an aerial dimension to your day of adventures.
As the sun begins to set, we pack up for the return journey to Cusco. This day of rafting, dining, and ziplining will leave you with more than just memories; it will leave you with stories to tell for years to come.
