Description
The Urubamba River runs from the high Andes stretching through the Sacred Valley of the Incas, Machupicchu and past into the jungle. The Urubamba is divided into Upper Urubamba and Lower Urubamba, the function of the division is the Pongo de Mainique, a white water canyon that opens into the Amazon plain. It has some exciting white water depending on the section of the river being made and the time of year. One of our most popular rafting sections during the season is the “Chuquicahuna- (Chuqui),” the section of the river in the Upper Urubamba. There are good areas of class III rapids and the water is not polluted, as unfortunately the Sacred Valley of the Incas sections of the river is. This section is perfect for day trips, with good class II, III and III + rapids. Excellent panoramic view along the river, with large eucalyptus trees and beautiful flowers. This section rafting is all year round and from the beginning of December to the end of March the river is class IV.
