The adventure in Lunahuaná begins!!

1. Get on and speed up on an ATV until the air messes up your hair and hits your face as if demanding you to wake up is a good way to start a day in Lunahuaná. The ATV ride is a good prelude to the adventure. Getting the service is easy, several tourism agencies in the area rent these vehicles for 35 soles. On top of the four wheels, you will not only feel the wind, the uneven terrain will help you shake off drowsiness if you were asleep on the way there. More about ATV in Lunahuaná

2. Dare to cross a valley through the air, reaching 50 kph or more. Canopy, or zipline, call it what you want. This simple system of pulleys and cables brings us a little closer to the dream of flying through the air. As you soar from hill to hill hanging from a strong galvanized steel cable, once again, the wind. Now it doesn't slap you, you are part of it. This canopy service is offered at 70 soles in the San Jerónimo valley. More about canopy in Lunahuaná

3. The most traditional sport in Lunahuaná, for which it became popular, is rafting. The routes and the variable course of the Cañete River make it ideal for those starting in this sport or for those with some experience. A safety talk, boats, paddles, and helmets in good condition reassure those who always fear this type of adventure. The best months to get on a boat and face the river's obstacles are from January to April. It is during that time of year that it is most swollen, due to the rainy season in the highlands. Of all, the best month is February, the guides told us. More about rafting in Lunahuaná
