Full Day White-Water Rafting in the Urubamba River (Cusco)

gpa — Thu, 23 Jan 2025 16:06:54 +0000

The Urubamba River runs from the high Andean ranges down through the Sacred Valley of the Incas, past Machu Picchu and into the jungle. The Urubamba River is divided into Upper and Lower Urubamba; the dividing feature is the Pongo de Mainique, a white-water canyon that opens into the Amazon plain.

The Urubamba River has a lot to offer! The white water offers a great rafting experience, depending on the section of the river and the time of year. One of our most popular rafting sections during the season is the “Chuquicahuna- (CHUQUI)”-section on the Upper Urubamba. Here, we can find good Class II rapids, and the water is not contaminated (unfortunately, as in some other river sections in the Sacred Valley of the Incas).

This section is ideal for one-day tours, featuring friendly Class II, III, and IV rapids. Enjoy the ride along the river, taking in excellent scenic views of enormous eucalyptus trees and many beautiful flowers. This white-water rafting section is open year-round; from early December to late March, the river even offers class IV rapids.

White-Water Rafting in the Apurimac River 3 Days/ 2 Nights

gpa — Thu, 23 Jan 2025 16:13:26 +0000

This exciting whitewater rafting expedition is ranked among the 10 best rafting trips in the world!

We operate these expeditions only in June, July, and the first two weeks of August.

We start our trip in Cusco at 3,400 meters, driving for 4 hours across the Andes, then down to the Apurimac River canyon (meaning”Speaker of the God” in Quechua). This river is also the most direct source of the Amazon River, making it the longest river in the world. We then set off at 2000 meters. 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. Our staff prepares all the meals over a campfire under the Southern Hemisphere night sky. At one point, we reach a narrow canyon with an impossible rapid, so we have to portage for about 300 meters. That means that you will walk for about 7 minutes, and the river guides will handle the operation. We typically raft class III+ and IV rapids, but we also tackle a few class IV+ and V rapids. In this remote and isolated canyon, one can see a variety of wildlife, including river otters, foxes, ducks, cormorants, and the majestic Condor.

Paragliding Tandem Flight over the Sacred Land of the Incas

gpa — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 03:42:14 +0000

For thousands of years, humans have dreamed about flying. Have you read that sort of thing a few times before?
Well, these days, many people are coming very close to that often-expressed yearning by leaning into the wind, taking a few steps, and then gently parting company with the land of the Incas under their feet. and perhaps a few minutes later, turning into the rising warm air of a thermal and eventually rising, until you are just a speck, high up and far away in the domains of the Condor. Just pausing here to let you indulge in that incredible daydream for a few more moments.
Welcome to the exhilarating sport of paragliding (known as parapente in many countries) over the Sacred land of the Incas. Be amazed by the idea that what you can experiment with in a real aircraft can just be equally induced by a stuffed backpack that you can take anywhere, anyhow, at any time.

In case of bad weather, we are only charging $ 30 for transport; the rest will be refunded in cash.
