Our rafting day in Urubamba was an incredible experience! The day started with a convenient hotel pickup and a beautiful drive to “CASA CUSI.” The guides conducted a comprehensive safety briefing, equipping us with all the necessary gear for the rafting adventure. The two and a half hours on the river were filled with excitement as we tackled class II and III rapids, surrounded by stunning Andean scenery.

Post-rafting, relaxing in the hot sauna and enjoying a hearty full-course lunch at “CASA CUSI” was just what we needed. We arrived back in Cusco around 5:00 PM, with plenty of time to reflect on the day’s adventures. This trip is a must-do for anyone looking for a mix of thrill and natural beauty in the Sacred Valley!
