Cusco Rafting and Zipline Adventure

We were nervous before meeting our guides, but Bamba Travel were good at responding to our questions via WhatsApp. On meeting our guides, Juan Carlos and Davide, they put us at ease and explained in clear English how the day would work. In short it was brilliant!! We rafted from Cusipata, a 2hr scenic trip south of Cusco. Safety talks were clear and gave us confidence in the guides’ abilities. The zip line was great but it quickly became a memory once we were concentrating on the rafting. I believe we went to one of the best areas for a one day trip. The water was safe but still a challenge!! There were only three of us on the tour but the guides’ skill allowed us to have a fabulous, fun and exhilarating rafting experience…. Thank you!!!

Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow! My family of 9 (ages 9 to 69 years) took this tour with Juan Carlos and we had a FABULOUS time. He picked us up at our hotel in Cusco, and provided an overview of the day. After driving to the camp, we met with the other guide and were outfitted with all the equipment needed. We went to the river and received solid instruction about how to paddle, when and how to move into and around the raft, and what to do if someone fell out. Juan Carlos had a third person with us who paddled a kayak nearby in case someone fell out (and our 10 year old did! But he knew exactly what to do because of the excellent instructions. We did not worry at all- it is now a highlight of the trip). These are Level 3 white water rapids- we had only done levels 1 and 2 in the past but our limited experience was no problem at all due to the excellent coaching and guiding. I think for the kids, this tour was the highlight of our trip to Peru. After rafting, we sat in the sauna to warm up and dry off. Then we had a lovely lunch- chicken, potatoes, salad, corn drink, tea- delicious. Then we went ziplining- some of us had never ziplined before but Juan Carlos and his team were excellent and patient instructors. I strongly recommend this tour and am so happy Juan Carlos was our guide- he was terrific. I do suggest wearing a swimsuit under your clothing and putting your clothes in the lockers at the camp. A swimsuit under the rafting clothing is all you need. We brought towels too but did not need them because the sauna dried us off. It was an absolutely wonderful, unforgettable day.

Anderson, our guide, was really funny and tried to make it as exciting as it can be for us during the rafting. The sauna was great afterwards and there was also a possibility to take a hot shower. Lunch was good, not that special but still very good!
