DAY 01 :
At 09:00 a.m.. we leave for Urubamba river on the Sacred Valley of the Incas( North of Cusco), where our guide will give a introductory chat on safety and equipment for our trip running the Urubamba. We will raft for around 2 ½ hours in rapids class II,III.IV+ and V, depending on which route we select. We could be in Ollantaytambo Class III (We run it from May to December), Quiquijana Class III (Dec to May) and Chuquicahuana Class III, IV and V(Dec to May).For the latest, which is the hardest,we always take a safety kayak with us, so it means one extra guide just for safety.
After lunch we return to Cusco, arriving at around 17:00 hs.
We have two shifts to the River:
•1st Shift: 9 am. To 5 pm
•2nd Shift: 11.30 to 7.30 pm
