South America is a popular adventure destination, and one of the most well known activities to do here is river rafting. South America has been gifted with several high mountains that create incredible river rapids. Amongst the several South American nations, Peru has become incredibly popular for its adventure activities. Furthermore, there are many rapids of different classes, so both experts and beginners alike can enjoy the rapids and find a level of difficulty suitable for them. However, remember that river rafting during the rainy season can be risky, even for experienced rafters, so be careful.
Let’s start your adventure trip to Peru.
Those travelling to Machu Picchu are always interested in expanding their touring options, and river rafting is an exceptional choice. As an Andean nation, Peru has several rivers suitable for white water rafting. The most well known places are close to Cusco, Lima and Arequipa.
If you are running out of time, a great choice is to book day trip beginning from Cuzco via Urubamba River. This tour is a straightforward one, and it does not matter whether you are a professional or beginner. Apurimac River tours are a good choice for people who have a bit more time, as these tours last for three to four days. This trip has also its starting line at Cuzco and can be accomplished by tourists with any level of expertise.
If you have even more time, woodland river rafting tours are great options. Tourists can make a trip of eleven or twelve days, beginning in Juliaca and ending in the Amazon forest. This is a unique way to witness the Amazon´s beauty. Apart from the excitement of rafting, you will also have the chance to see many birds and animals, such as ocelots, eagles, parrots, tapirs, giant otters, monkeys, alligators and jaguars. Touring a clay lick offers an exceptional opportunity of seeing herds of parrots.
A tour of Cotahuai Canyon is offered by only a handful of travel agencies and these tours are for veteran rafters seeking thrill and adrenaline rush. Beginning from Arequipa, a twelve-day adventure trip will comprise six-days of adventure in Class IV-V rapids alongside some trekking activities. Apart from rafting experience, there is also a degree of fitness needed to accomplish the 2-days of trekking to arrive at the point where the rafting starts.
Keep in mind that a tour operator can make or break your adventure tours in Peru, so be cautious when choosing a tour agency.
