Rafting Routes
We offer three different sections in the Sacred Valley of the Incas (Calca and Urubamba) that can be performed depending on the season and your preference:
1. Huambutio – Pisac:
This is the most popular and easiest sector. No experience or special physical condition is required. From May to September, the tour is more attractive and accessible with short, low-difficulty rapids.
2. Urubamba – Boca de Sapo:
This part offers more adventure with more rapids than the first section. The journey is faster and has more variations, though it does not represent a high risk.
3. Huaran Rapids:
Located 1.5 hours from Cusco, this part is pure adrenaline. It is recommended for the drought season (June to September) for safety. It has a medium difficulty but high technical degree.
Note on Kayaking: This part of the river is excellent for kayaking fans due to the maneuvers possible in a single-person boat, allowing for higher levels of difficulty.
