Urubamba River Rafting 2 days | White water rafting Cusco
Description
The Urubamba River flows from the lofty Andean peaks, meandering through the revered Sacred Valley of the Incas, embracing Machu Picchu, and winding further into the lush jungle. Its waters offer exhilarating whitewater experiences that vary by river segment and season. Among our top rafting destinations is the Upper Urubamba's "Chuqui" section, renowned for its thrilling class II rapids and pristine water conditions. Unlike the polluted stretches of the Huambutio and Ollantaytambo rivers, this section remains refreshingly uncontaminated.
Experience the thrill of rafting on the stunning Urubamba River and embark on a journey through the Sacred Valley of the Incas, where you'll discover breathtaking landscapes surrounding the ancient city of Cusco.
