During four days, experience the adventure of paddling the Apurimac River and enjoy the tranquility of being isolated in the wilderness surrounding one of the deepest canyons in the world. Its waters descend through a 3,000 meter (10,140 ft.) deep canyon, forming fun class III, IV, and V rapids. Encounter immense rock walls, a spectacular granite canyon, and beautiful camping beaches.
Southwest from the city of Cusco is the Huallpachaca Bridge, the starting point of the expedition.
After a safety briefing and with the equipment ready, say goodbye to civilization and enter a remote area of breathtaking natural beauty. Paddle fun class III rapids until you reach your first campsite on the banks of the river.
Witness the first rays of sunlight enter between the walls of this canyon and prepare for an adrenaline-filled day.
Paddle the deepest section of the canyon composed of continuous and fun class III and IV rapids.
Travel through a stretch of incredible geological formations until you reach Calabazas Beach, where you will enjoy a fire on the banks of the river and another night under a million stars.
Another action-packed day awaits you. Today you will paddle many class III and IV rapids such as the Gol, Three Marys, the Trinche, and the exciting Maze. Continue down the river until you reach the Toothache, a class V rapid that we will portage for safety.
Return to the raft and paddle a few more minutes until you reach the third camp of the expedition.
A morning of incredible class IV and V rapids, including Babalua and the Last Smile, precludes the end of the expedition.
At the Cunyac Bridge, the final point of the trip, enjoy a delicious lunch to say goodbye and thank the Apurimac for these incredible four days of pure nature, adrenaline, and fun.
