| APURIMAC This exciting white water rafting expedition is rated among the best of world. We start our trip from Cusco 3400 mts. driving for 5 hours across the Andes down to the Apurimac river, which in native Quechua language means "speaker of the gods". This river is also the most direct source of the Amazonas making it the longest river in the world. We put-in at 2,000 mts. it will take us about two hours to prepare all the equipment using only self-bailing rafts and catarafts. We'll have lunch and raft down to our first camp. All the meals are prepared by our staff on a campfire under the night sky of the southern hemisphere. At one point we arrive to a narrow canyon with an impassable rapid where we have to do a portage for about 300 mts. Most of the time we will be rafting class III+ and IV rapids, but we also have a few class IV+ and V rapids. Among the wildlife in this remote and isolated canyon we could find river otters, bob cats, foxes, condors, torrent ducks, cormorants, and other native wildlife. It all adds up to an incredible Green Life Adventure. Duration: 4 days/ 3 nights SEASON: Between June and October LEVEL: Moderate- difficult rafting. GRADING: Class IV and V. Experience is suggested and good physical condition is essential. DAY
