2-Days tour Vinicunca + Urubamba River Rafting
Overview
You will also have a good chance of encountering condors, the worlds largest flying bird, and other Andean fauna such as vicuña, practically extinct elsewhere.A magnificent trek, the true image of the high Andes. One of the most spectacular Andean trekking adventures. You will have the chance to meet traditional, native Quechua Indians who live at 14,000 feet, tending their herds of llamas and alpacas. They live in an isolated region of the Cordillera Vilcanota among sparkling glaciers, colorful lakes and relaxing hot springs.
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 whitewater 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 “Chuqui” section of the river on the Upper Urubamba. There are good class IIl rapids and the water is not contaminated.
The Ausangate Rainbow Mountain in Peru is a treasure so hidden that only the gods and a few lucky tourists are able to enjoy it.
This hidden world is one of those places that tourists have yet to discover.
In fact, it can even be difficult to find information regarding what visitors can expect to discover while touring this enchanted area. Are you an adventurer dreaming of an undiscovered gem located off the beaten path? If you think all the beautiful places on the planet have already been popularized by tourists, you haven’t seen Ausangate Peru Rainbow Mountain.
