Rafting Groups Ready to Ride the Waves
We Battle the Urubumba
On Sunday, we joined a rafting group, through Peru Rafting company to ride the waves of the Urubumba River. We wanted to ride upstream of the more polluted parts of the Urubumba and supposedly, the spot we went to was cleaner. It may have been cleaner, but it was still brown and muddy looking…The rapids were a lot of fun, but not as exciting as the Brown’s Canyon rafting in Colorado, or the Kicking Horse River, near Banff, Canada. It was mostly class 3 rapids with one section of class 4.
Also, both Dennis and I got sick after rafting and I’m not sure if this was from the river water or from the food they served us. So, in the end, while we had a fun time that day, I don’t think I’d recommend rafting. Better to stick to Mountain Biking, Hiking, or other Cultural things.
