APURIMAC RIVER 3D/2N

This exciting whitewater rafting expedition is rated among the best of world Class Rivers. We start our trip from Cusco 3,300 mts. driving for 4 hours across the Andes down to the Apurimac River, (in the native Quechua language meaning "Speaker of the Gods"). This river is also the most direct source of the Amazon making it the longest river in the world. We put-in at 2,000 mts. It will take us about two hours to prepare all the equipment using only state of the art, self bailing rafts and catarafts.
We'll have lunch and raft down to our first camp. All the meals are prepared by our staff on a campfire under the night sky of the Southern Hemisphere.
At one point we arrive to a narrow canyon with an impossible rapid where we have to do a portage for about 300 mts. Most of the time we will be rafting class III+ and IV rapids, but we also have a few class IV + and V rapids, among the wildlife in this remote and isolated canyon we could find river otters, bob cats, foxes, torrent ducks, cormorants etc.

The water of the river is totally clear and has a turquoise color. There are trout everywhere on this Natural Reserve. We will have delicious meals during the days we will have different activities in which we will trek and enjoy the nature.

Just 7 hours from the city of Lima the town of Huancaya, which offers visitors a natural environment away from the smog and traffic of the city, with bucolic surrounding countryside.

Despite the fact it is the largest town in the area, Huancaya is one of the few places in Peru that has not been spoiled by modernization. One can stroll through its cobled streets and feel like one has gone.

Huancaya and its surroundings form part of the Nor-Yauyos-Cochas Reserve, which features a wide diversity of flora and fauna, such as the vizcacha rodent, puma and fox, as well as birds and reptile species which are native to the area. The region also features archaeological sites and ideal routes for trekking, mountain climbing and biking. The rivers also provide some excellent whitewater rafting, while the whole family can go on horseback rides and taste the dairy products for which the area is famous.

Highlights:

Camp near the Cañete River where you can feel a real contact with nature on one of the most exotic areas of the Peruvian Andes.
