Rafting in the Urubamba River

Discover the wonders of the Urubamba River, which stretches from the Andean mountains to the tropical jungle through the famous Sacred Valley of the Incas and beyond. The river is divided into two sections: the Upper Urubamba and the Lower Urubamba, separated by the impressive Pongo de Mainique, a stunning whitewater canyon that opens into the Amazonian plain.

Are you ready for an exciting water adventure? Rafting in the whitewater of the Urubamba River is an experience you can't miss. The "Chuquicahuna" section in the Upper Urubamba is particularly popular during the season, offering class II rapids and uncontaminated water, a rarity in other sections of the river in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. One-day tours are perfect for exploring the section while enjoying breathtaking panoramic views with large eucalyptus trees and beautiful flowers. And if you're looking for a little more adrenaline, from early December to late March, the river offers class IV rapids.

Join us to explore the wonders of the Urubamba River and discover its impressive natural beauty while experiencing an exciting water adventure. You won't regret it!
