Hotel pickup, kit and clear safety coaching make it accessible for first timers who are ready to get wet. 🎯 Key Details Duration: Around 2.5 hours including pickup and river time Location: Chili River and Chilina Valley, Arequipa Pickup: Hotel collection in Arequipa Distance on water: About 7 km of whitewater Difficulty: Easy, no prior rafting experience needed 🚣 What to Expect Your outing starts with hotel pickup in Arequipa at the time confirmed for your visit. At the riverside base you change into rafting kit, store dry clothes in a bag, and listen to a short safety talk covering paddle strokes, commands and what to do if you leave the raft. On the water you paddle about seven kilometres of Chili River whitewater with guide support, reading the current through the Chilina Valley while the scenery of canyon walls and farmland slides past. Expect splashes and an active pace that still suits beginners who follow instructions closely. After the take out, return toward Arequipa with drop off near the main square. Bring a towel and change of clothes so you can dry off comfortably before heading back into the city. 📍 Location The Chili River runs close to Arequipa, giving you a proper whitewater session without a long expedition transfer. The Chilina Valley mixes farmland, cliffs and open Andean light that feels a world away from the colonial streets of the White City. Arequipa itself sits at around 2,300 m with volcano views and a lively historic centre. Pairing a morning or afternoon on the river with city time is easy when pickup and return are handled within the tour. ✅ Prerequisites No prior rafting experience is required. You should be comfortable getting wet, following guide commands promptly and managing light physical effort for the river run. Wear shoes that can get wet and bring swimwear plus a towel. If you are a non swimmer or travelling with young children, ask the team before you travel so suitability can be confirmed. ⭐ Why Choose Us Guides keep the briefing practical and stay close on the water, so first timers understand commands before the first rapid. Hotel pickup and return toward the main square keep logistics simple for visitors based in the city. The Chili River section delivers splashy whitewater without needing multi day expedition fitness, making it a strong half day add on to an Arequipa itinerary. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Hotel pickup in Arequipa Guided rafting on the Chili River Rafting equipment and life jackets Safety briefing before launch Return toward Arequipa main square ### What’s not included Transport to your hotel before pickup Meals and drinks Personal travel insurance Towel and change of clothes Tips and personal expenses ### Kit list Shoes that can get wet Swimwear and towel Change of clothes Hat, sunglasses and sunscreen Snacks and water Small backpack for dry clothes ## FAQs ### Do I need rafting experience?
