The Urubamba river runs from the
high Andean ranges down through
the Sacred Valley of the Incas,
past Machupicchu and into the
jungle. It has some exciting
white water depending on the
section of the river being done
and the time of the year. One of
our most popular rafting
sections during the season is
the "Cusipata" section of the
river on the Upper Urubamba.
There are good class IIl rapids
and the water is not
contaminated, as unfortunately
the Huambutio and Ollantaytambo
section of the river are
contaminated.
