URUBAMBA RIVER 2 Days / 1 Nights

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