Rafting from Cusco

There are two options for 1 day rafting trips from Cusco.

Option 1: Cusco – Hambutio – Pisaq – Cusco
This one day rafting adventure is available year-round for Peru tours in the Cusco area. Stunning scenery highlights this spectacular trip. Depart from Cusco at 7:30 am and drive for forty minutes to the town of Hambutio, in the Sacred Valley. After a safety briefing, you begin an exciting day of introductory river rafting down the Urubamba River. Stop for lunch on a sandy beach midway and then continue down the rapids to our take-out-point. A quick change of clothes and ride to the town of Pisaq. Here, visit the mysterious Pisac ruins, returning to Cusco late in the afternoon.

Option 2: Cusco – Ollantaytambo – Cusco
This stretch of white water rafting is the more intense of the two rafting options. Depart Cusco at 7:30 am for an hour drive to our put-in. After a safety briefing, we begin rafting small rapids and calmer stretches to practice the basics of river running technique. While on the calmer stretches, pass Inca ruins and terraces, experiencing the amazing history of these Inca architectural feats. Also, pass under an ancient Inca bridge. Later in the day, the rapids increase in difficulty. Stop to scout the rapids at Ollantaytambo Station for an adrenaline-filled finale to the river journey. After lunch, explore the Inca town and ruins of Ollantaytambo, before returning to Cusco
