Peru’s stunning Scared Valley is sliced by the water of the Urubamba River, which makes its way away from the Inca’s old capital town of Cuzco towards the Amazon Rainforest. The river has so many great stretches for rafting, making it a well-known expedition during an adventure trip to Peru.

For anybody who likes rafting or has always wished to try it, there’re many trips hat you can go for in the Scared Valley that starts from Cuzco. The duration of these tours can be just 1 day. This makes it a simple thing to put in on a tour to Machu Picchu, even if you do not have a lot of additional time.

The rafting trips in the Scared Valley take tourists out on the Urubamba River. While it is measured as a full-day trip comprising travel time & lunch, the time rafting itself is generally around three hours. When you’re picking the part of the river that you want to raft on, it may be valuable checking if the tour agency runs tours to Ollantaytambo & Pisac so that you can observe the ruins while heading back to Cuzco.

Another possibility is the Huambutio to Pisac part. This’s a very easy one and perfect for travellers who’ve never rafter before. In the dry months some tourists find it slightly gentle for their taste, but the panoramas that you observe along the way are stunning and merging it with a tour to Pisac can be done easily.
