Manuever your raft through a narrowing canyon where a wave train awaits. Enjoy the clean water, the unspoiled views and a brisk river flow for about 12 miles. Plan on getting wet. This stretch of the upper-Urubamba river does not disappoint. Brave beginners during the dry season only (July - Oct) otherwise experience required.
