Rafting, Canoeing and Kayaking
Peru is quickly becoming one of the world’s main travel destinations for those in search of great rafting, canoeing or kayaking experiences. Many of Peru’s rivers are ranked among the ten best white water experiences in the world, and such trips are high on the “must-do” list of all adventure travelers. But these great Peruvian rivers provide more than a rush of adrenaline, for their white waters take travelers past smoothly eroded granite rocks into remote regions of the Andes where they can see for themselves the world’s deepest and most spectacular canyons, wildlife such as river otters, Andean condors and pumas, and ancient cultures which have changed little over the centuries. Tierra de los Inkas offers some of the best white water adventures in Peru, with most of them in the Cusco region and lasting from just one day to expeditions of 3 or 4 days.
Urubamba - day trips
Most popular rafting trips are down the Urubamba River in the Sacred Valley of the Inkas near Cusco.
