ITINERARY

Day 01: CUSCO - APURIMAQ
Pick up from your hotel and transport by our private bus to Wallpachaca Bridge (6,650 ft) four hours away from Cusco. After lunch the guides will give a safety briefing followed by a practice on the river, each passenger takes turns swimming in some moderate rapids so everybody can practice grabbing the safety kayak and also securing rescue lines. After this we will enjoy three hours in the white waters running class II, III and IV rapids. Later in the afternoon we have tea time, lunch and camping. (L/D)

Day 02: APURIMAQ
Today´s one the longest days in the river. Begins with nice long rapids. Before we run the rapids each guide explain to the crew how to run it and where the safety kayak and the guides with the safety ropes are located. Scenery is amazing, big granitic rocks, cliffs and huge mountains. For safety reason passengers will have to walk around some rapids we call it “Portages” (class IV, V and VI rapids, nonburnable). The place for lunch is beautiful and it is a good time to relax and rest. In the afternoon there will be more rapids class IV, before we arrive to our next camp, we will have a stop so we can collect fire wood for our camp site. (B/L/T/D)
