ITINERARY – CUSIPATA RAFTING

Day 1

At 8:45 AM we will pick up our clients from their Cusco hotels, and after that we’ll begin our trip by bus to the Urubamba River (1 hour and 15 minutes more or less), once we arrive to the river, our guides will give you a safety chat (they will explain the equipment to you, navigation, river, rapids, etc), then, you’ll get prepared with the rafting equipment, and after that, we’re ready to run the river!!

We’ll put the rafts on the river and we’ll practice paddling with our rafting crew…, then we’ll run rapids class II and III for 2 hours and 30 minutes more or less, after it; we’ll arrive to the end point, once dry and dressed, we’ll have lunch, then we’ll begin our trip back to Cusco, arriving at 5pm more or less.

ITINERARY – OLLANTAYTAMBO RAFTING

Day 1

Is the same than the Cusipata Rafting, the only difference is that our clients will be already in the Sacred Valley, and they will avoid the 2 hours trip by bus…(in/out Cusco to Ollantaytambo), so, the whole tour will last from 10 am to 2pm aprox.(4 hours)

Rapids Classification:

Class I	Flat water, lakes, flat river places
Class II	Small Rapids with small rocks
Class III	Rapids, Waves, Rocks, amazing to do rafting
Class IV	Strong Rapids, Waves, really fun
Class V	The hardest level that a person can run, really dangerous
Class VI	Not for run!, avoid!

* Always use your safety equipment

The rainy season is a really good time to go rafting because the river gets faster and the waves and other hydraulics are larger. The rainy season lasts from December to April.
