Apurimac White Water Rafting - Tika Trek - Cusco, Peru

Apurimac White Water Rafting

Under the night sky of the southern hemisphere, our staff prepares all meals and sets up the campfire. Most of the rapids are III+ and IV rapids, but also a few IV+ and some class V. At one point, we reach a narrow canyon with an impassable rapid. Here we have to do a 300m portage. Among the wildlife in this remote and isolated canyon, we find river otters, bobcat, foxes, condors, torrent ducks and cormorants.

Day 1. To the River

We meet at 9:00 am. We leave and drive 4 hours through
the Andes to the put-in at Huallpachaca bridge, 2000m high in altitude. It will
take us a couple hours to prepare all the equipment, rafts, cargo raft, coolers, and provide your helmets, lifejackets, wet suits etc. After lunch we will give you a safety talk. We will put emphasis on training all the participants, in how to get back into the raft, flipping the raft, swimming a rapid etc.
You will be floating as a training day for 2 or 3 hours, running class II and III rapids. We campout in a narrow gorge with spectacular canyon walls. Here the guides will prepare dinner .
