Urubamba River Rafting full day

ITINERARY

The Urubamba river runs from the high Andean ranges down through the Sacred Valley of the Incas, past Machupicchu and further on into the jungle.

The Urubamba is divided into upper Urubamba and lower Urubamba, the dividing feature is the Pongo de Mainique, a whitewater canyon that opens into the Amazon plain.

It has some exciting white water, depending on the section of the river being done and the time of the year. One of our most popular rafting sections during the season is the “Chuquicahuna- (CHUQUI)” on the upper Urubamba. There are good class IIl rapids and the water is not contaminated, as unfortunately it is in the Sacred Valley. 

This section is perfect for one day tours, with nice class II, III and III+ rapids. Excellent scenic riverside view, with big eucalyptus trees and beautiful flowers.
