Day 1
Raft the Apurimac - Black Canyon
This is a unique chance to paddle a one-day section of the mighty Rio Apurimac, through a 3000m deep canyon on the true source of the Rio Amazon. This is a massive day of total adventure and you will be rewarded with spectacular views, amazing whitewater, pristine beaches, and great memories. We pick you up early for the spectacular drive to the Apurimac canyon, hopefully glimpsing on route the snow-capped Vilcanota mountain range and Salcantay Massif before descending an incredible road into the canyon and so to our starting point on the banks of the Apurimac. Here we inflate our specialized rafts, and, following a full safety talk and instruction in the art of white water rafting, we head off into the canyon in search of adventure. We travel through the most spectacular canyon with world-class rapids, interspersed with gentle floats, elusive wildlife, and amazing scenery. We stop to explore side canyons, have lunch on a deserted beach before enjoying more fun rapids to our take out at Puente Huallpacachaca where we celebrate our day with cold drinks, before jumping in the vehicles for the journey back to your hotel, having had a genuine "mini-expedition" on the Rio Apurimac. picnic lunch Included: transport, all white-water & safety equipment, wetsuit, helmet, boots, buoyancy aid, splash jacket, Swift Water Rescue trained English-speaking guide, lunch, snacks & water

After living in Peru for around 4 years, I'm still making it my business to discover as many new places as possible. From wandering Inca Trails just outside of Lima to hanging out in adobe homes in Cajamarca, there's a lifetime of adventure out here.
