June and July fill the good river rafting trips in Peru months ahead. The 4 below hold up, with current prices, group sizes and what the day actually asks of you.
Chili River white-water rafting near Arequipa with hotel pickup, wetsuit gear, a snack, and a safe 45-minute run through 6 km rapids.
“Great activity, very fun, just know there is a extra 20 sols per person for transportation”
One day from Cusco with Urubamba whitewater rafting, a river zip line, lunch, and sauna time at Cusipata River Lodge.
“Amerigo of the Mayuc rafting company was our guide for our daylong zip line and rafting experience. He met us at our hotel and walked us to where the van was parked. Cesar drove us to the lodge, which was about 2 hours away, on the other side of Urcos. We ziplined first, across the river and back. Each trip was quick but enjoyable. We did it first because it was the rainy season, and when it rains in the Cusco area, one event comes through in the early afternoon. By the way, the rainy season should not be ignored in the area near Cusco, for rafting or any other…”

The photos and videos were fantastic and sent through within hours of the activity finishing.”
4 days of biking, rafting, zipline, and rainforest hikes from Cusco to Machu Picchu, ending with guided citadel access.
“Really enjoyed the Adventure Hike, lots of pros with only a few cons, see below breakdown of the 4 days (I travelled early June 2024), some tips and a packing list of what to take. Day 1, Bike and Raft: Bike was great fun, very easy/beginner friendly as mostly downhill but get to pick up some speed while catching the views. Rafting was excellent with a few decent rapids. Accommodation was terrible, very basic shared hostel with only cold water shower (not ideal after rafting), food was average but didn't go hungry. Day 2, Hike: I'd class myself intermediate hiker and I found it pretty easy, there's a few hills…”
