In the late afternoon, you reach your destination, a soft sand beach for a second night of camping alongside the river.

Day 3 APURIMAC RIVER - CUSCO
Today, the canyon widens into sloping formations that create more challenging rapids, including "Toothache," "You First," Babalua Carajo and "Last Laugh."
