Somewhere at the bottom of the deepest canyon on earth flows the Cotahuasi—a long, roiling ribbon of whitewater, a river so old and dangerous that you never master it, you just surrender to it. And pay respect to its ghosts.

...Gian Marco smiled and shrugged. He and his two brothers, Duilio and Piero, had been given their first kayaks in 1981 by the Polish team that made the first descent of Colca Canyon. Since then they've paddled some of the most dangerous whitewater anywhere, so not much surprises them...

In November 2006 I completed a white water rafting trip of the Cotahausi Canyon with Terra Explorer Peru.

Right from the word go I knew instinctively that I was in the company of a professional, talented group of top guides.  Throughout the trip it was confirmed that I was travelling with the best of best.

The trip consists of a fantastic scenic walk into the base of the canyon, then several days on the river - camping on the beautiful banks of the Canyon over these nights before coming to an end near the coast. 

We were treated to camp meals of five star quality - all prepared by the humourous, intellegent guides accompanying our travels, beautiful scenery, exploration opportunity's through Inca Ruins lining the Canyon walls which contain human bones, pottery and even clothing - all preserved due to the dry heat, topped off by the company of the native Peruvian guides sharing the history and the humour of Peru with us.

I could not reccomend any trip more highly.  This was a professional, exciting, thrilling adventure with fantastic, friendly, energetic, qualified guides - one that can only be defined as the adventure of a lifetime.

Good on you Terra Peru!!
