APURIMAC RIVER - 3 days and 2 nights

DAY 1 :

We meet at our office in Calle Plateros 369 at 7:45am .Leaving Cusco we will have a short stop after one hour drive in a village called Izcuchaca where everyone can get last snacks, water, etc.

The following 3 hours driving will bring us up in the spectacular Andean highlands and up to an altitude of 4,100 m.a.s.l from there we descend to a subtropical altitude of 2,100 m.a.s.l and into the breathtaking Apurimac Canyon where on the riverbed we start with the preparation for our adventure trip.

After lunch there will be a complete safety talk and intensive practice on the water which includes swimming, paddle and rescue techniques, use of rescue ropes, safety kayak or kataraft ,flipping the raft and other aspects ,so that our passengers feel prepared and comfortable to start this great trip on the river.

The river course starts with moderate rapids class II – III which enables us to get our first white water experience. After aprox. 2 hours we stop on the shore and prepare for the night.

We finish the day with a rich 2-course-dinner, coffee or tea around the camp fire and a briefing about what is coming up on day 2 of our expedition.

DAY 2 :

The second day will be an intense day on the water .Soon after a strong breakfast the first rapid class IV will already demand more concentration of our paddlers.

Throughout the river course we will ruin through a variety of fun rapids class III with big waves as well as demanding technical rapids of class IV, where real teamwork is needed.

Some unrunnable sections, so-called portages, also form part of the river. There we are forced to carry boats and gear carefully over the rocks and our passengers are asked to walk out of safety reasons.

After an exciting morning of all kinds of different challenges we will stop for a nourishing lunch and there continue through more waves and water.

Maybe tired but happy we will stop in the afternoon for our second night, relax with hot drinks, popcorn and beach games and recover after another healthy meal for the following day.

DAY 3 :

Once more we will start paddling on the river after a hearty breakfast and go for more excitement.

Again we will have to face rapids which are too strong to navigate and have to be portaged.

Besides that we still have a great number of class IV rapids which demand all of our concentration and physical effort. And last but not least there will be lots of fun spots to go for great surfs with the raft before the intensity of the river decreases and we float towards the finish.

We will get there abut lunch time and satisfy our rumbling stomach with a great BBQ, salads and cool drinks.

After having organized the gear we head back to Cusco, which takes about 2.30 hrs and we will arrive aprox. 5pm, back in town, one adrenaline adventure richer filled.
