The famous Apurimac River Canyon "The God who speaks" or "The speaking river god of the Incas" is ideal for sports activities such as rafting due to the force of its river waters. The journey on the Apurimac is quite demanding and requires absolute concentration. Those who know the Apurimac always say that it is the one in charge, which is why the river deserves all possible respect. No precaution is too much for those who dare to venture into its waters.

The Apurimac River is one of the most visited places by adrenaline-seeking athletes, considered one of the deepest in America as well as one of the best rivers in the world for white water rafting with class II, III to V rapids. With excellent weather and a roller coaster sensation on the boat, thrilling sections are interspersed with peaceful stretches where the raft drifts along the river, while extraordinary rock formations are admired. In the afternoon, the expedition leaves the river to set up camp on sandy beaches. Bonfires, a sky full of stars, and the sound of the river mark nights of tranquility and meditation.
