APURIMAC - THE SACRED RIVER
RAPUR

The Apurimac River is one of the most challenging Class V rivers in Peru. This run is not for rookies on the river, you must be experienced and fit for the paddling and the portages.

In four days, we run several rapids like Space Odyssey, Zeta, Purgatory, Tres Marias, Labyrinth, Babalua, and Last Laugh, while enjoying the nature of this beautiful canyon. At the campsites we can spot small foxes and several species of birds.
