Land Price (2 days/1 night)
Royal US$ 425 Imperial US$ 425 De Luxe US$ 425 per person
The land price includes escorted transfers, private rafting excursion with use of all rafting equipment (state-of-the-art rafts, wetsuits, Americas Cup's life jackets, splash jackets, helmets, first-aid kit, dry box for cameras and snacks on the river), river guides trained in swift-water rescue and wilderness first-aid, safety kayaker, overnight in a suite or bungalow at the Sol y Luna Lodge, gourmet cuisine (see details) (picnic lunch, dinner of nouvelle Andean cuisine at Killa Wasi and breakfast) and travel insurance for guests through the age of 59 years (over that age, there is a supplementary fee). All prices are per person based on two people sharing a guest room. For a detailed description of our services, see Opulent Itineraries.
This rafting adventure on a beautiful section of the Urubamba River is for just about everyone -- no experience is needed. Usually, we run the class III IV Chuquicahauna section, above Cuzco, where the river is more fun. It takes one-and-a-half hours to drive to our entry point. On arrival, we will inflate the rafts and, following a full safety briefing and instructions, set off for two hours of white-water rafting. The river starts gently, with time to practice the maneuvers required, then builds up with more challenging rapids through a beautiful canyon, where we will see torrent ducks and views of the surrounding peaks. Upon reaching our take-out point, we'll enjoy a picnic lunch before returning to Cuzco in the mid to late afternoon.
Pre-Departure Information
What to bring
- Towel
- Shorts
- Swimsuit
- T-shirt or thermal top
- Trainers or Tevas sandals that will get wet
- Sun hat
- Suntan lotion
- String for glasses
- Cameras
Note: This rafting section runs from April through November. After that, it becomes a much more serious class V river, which we only offer to experienced rafters. At all times, we reserve the right to offer an alternative section if we consider the conditions too dangerous to safely run this section. We can also run a section known as Cusipata, which is generally safer and easier, and is ideal for family groups. The youngest age we will take is twelve years old; there is no older limit.
Extraordinary explorations.
