ITINERARYITINERARY
You will get picked up from your accommodation in Arequipa and head towards the river which you will get to after a short car drive. The starting point of the activity is called "Gruta de la Virgen de Chapi" and here our professional guide(s) will give you all the equipment as well as a detailed briefing on how to use it. We treat safety as a priority and we will only start the activity once you feel completely confident. 
Once you are ready, you will start your descent of around 6 km down the rapids - it will take around 1.50 / 2 hours for you to get to the ending point. You will mainly be focused on keeping your balance but don't forget to take a look around and enjoy the stunning surrounding views. You will have the opportunity to spot nearby volcanoes as well as pre-Inca terraces as we make our way down the river. The activity finishes in the district of Chilina and our transport will be there waiting for you and ready to take you back to your hotel in Arequipa.
