The meeting point is at 9 am in the heart of Cusco, at the Plaza de Armas. For larger groups, hotel pick-up is available. Participants will be transported to the lake for Stand Up Paddle Boarding, which will take place at Huaypo, Piuray, or Huacarpay, depending on the weather conditions.

The journey to the lake takes approximately one hour, subject to city traffic.

Upon arrival, participants will receive all necessary gear, including a paddleboard (with safety strap), life jacket, full-body neoprene wetsuit, and a paddle.

Once everyone is geared up, the lead guide will provide essential information, including paddling techniques and safety instructions. Participants will practice balancing, and once proficient, they will paddle towards the lake’s center. The paddling session lasts around 2 hours, depending on the group’s skill level.

After returning from the lake’s center, there will be time to relax and enjoy the stunning view of the Andes. A box lunch is provided, featuring a sandwich (with options like veggies, avocado, ham, cheese, olives, tuna, tomatoes, onion, potatoes, and more) and some beers.

Finally, all equipment is packed up, and the group returns to Cusco the same way they arrived. The expected return time to Cusco is shortly after 4 pm, as this is a full-day excursion.

This is a special chance to paddle through a one-day section of the Apurimac River, navigating a 3000-meter deep canyon. The journey begins with a 5:30 am pickup from hotels in Cusco, leading to the breathtaking Black Canyon of the Apurímac River. The route descends along a remarkable path into the canyon, reaching the starting point on the banks of the Apurímac. After a 3-hour journey, the rafts are inflated, and following a thorough safety briefing, the adventure commences.

The river flows into a truly awe-inspiring area, featuring numerous excellent class III and IV rapids amidst stunning scenery. Participants will also have the chance to view waterfalls and colonial bridges. There will be stops to explore side canyons and enjoy lunch on a beach before tackling more exciting rapids. The adventure concludes at the Huallpacachaca Bridge, where the group exits the canyon. Transportation will be ready to return to Cusco, having experienced a genuine “mini expedition” on the Apurímac River.
