Guides run a safety talk, fit rafting kit and launch you onto roughly two and a half hours of class II and III whitewater, with stronger water possible from December to early March. After the take out, hot showers and a full course lunch wait at the river camp. If you want more activity, optional zip lines on four cables across the river are available before the return toward Cusco around 16:00. Expect a wet, active day that still suits beginners who follow commands, with Sacred Valley scenery framing the paddle between rapid sections. 📍 Location The Upper Urubamba near Cusipata sits southeast of Cusco in the Sacred Valley corridor, where farmland, hills and river canyon combine for a classic day paddle. The private river camp gives a clear base for kit, lunch and optional aerial lines. Starting from Cusco plaza keeps the day practical for travellers based in the historic centre. The drive itself introduces highland landscapes before you reach the put in. ✅ Prerequisites No prior rafting experience is required for typical class II and III conditions. You should be comfortable getting wet, following guide commands and managing light physical effort for the river block. Wear shoes that can get wet and bring swimwear plus a towel. Ask the team before travel if you are a non swimmer or travelling with young children. ⭐ Why Choose Us Guides brief clearly at a dedicated river camp, then stay close on the water so first timers understand commands before the first rapid. Lunch and showers after the take out make the full day feel complete rather than rushed. Optional zip lines let energetic groups add more activity without changing the core rafting focus, while plaza pickup and return keep logistics simple from Cusco. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Transport from Plaza de Armas to Cusipata River Camp and return toward Cusco Guided rafting on the Upper Urubamba Rafting equipment and life jackets Safety briefing Hot showers and full course lunch at the river camp Optional zip line access as available on the day ### What’s not included Transport to and from Plaza de Armas Drinks beyond lunch service unless confirmed 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 Light rain layer Snacks and water for the morning drive ## FAQs ### Do I need rafting experience?

Ask the team before travel for younger children or non swimmers so they can advise honestly. ### What if river conditions change? River levels change with the seasons.
