Damon's Kayak Trip

In a “self support” kayaking trip it is required that kayakers have solid  Class-V skills and experience. The kayak participants will be hauling all of their own personal gear and commissary, thus making it a true expedition.

With our many years of experience of boating the rivers of Peru, we feel very confident, capable and assured of success in our endeavor of leading you down the rivers, showing you the best lines, as well as the ideal campsites and side hikes.

The purpose and goal is to run the two deepest navigable river canyons in the world, during one single expedition! First, the Colca, with a depth of 3,191 meters (approximately 10,700 feet)  -characterized by the impressive sheer walls of its inner gorge and  otherwise lunar landscapes; and then the Cotahuasi, with a depth of of 3,535 meters (approximately 11,600 feet)  -possibly the deepest river canyon in the world- containing among its features a significant amount of remarkable  archaeological sites and remains strewn along its entire course.  Both of these rivers are  Class- IV and Class V with some portages.
