Juan Carlo was a great guide! It was just my husband and I since it was low season but Juan Carlo led us through a great rafting trip. The facilities were great and lunch was delicious.

Amerigo of the Mayuc...

Bob_R, Jan 2026

Amerigo of the Mayuc rafting company was our guide for our daylong zip line and rafting experience. He met us at our hotel and walked us to where the van was parked. Cesar drove us to the lodge, which was about 2 hours away, on the other side of Urcos. We ziplined first, across the river and back. Each trip was quick but enjoyable. We did it first because it was the rainy season, and when it rains in the Cusco area, one event comes through in the early afternoon. By the way, the rainy season should not be ignored in the area near Cusco, for rafting or any other activity. Do not be deterred by the term, “rainy season.” It means there likely will be a shower or storm each day, usually coinciding with lunch. Because it was the “rainy season” but a relatively dry one so far, our trip consisted of mostly Class 2 and 3 rapids, with a couple that bordered on Class 4. This was perfect for us, as it was the first-time trip for our son. The amazing thing to me was that even though there were only two of us, I counted at least 4, maybe 5, people working at the lodge who helped make our day a safe success. Amerigo could not have been a better guide. Cesar, our driver who also made our good lunch, got us there and back conveniently. There was a safety guide in a one person raft who accompanied us down the river. I observed at least one woman helping with lunch and preparing the nice sauna we took after rafting. I felt bad that we were the only two people there. Take advantage of the smaller crowds of the “rainy season” and come to this magical part of Peru. And when you do, the team at Mayuc will give you a fun and enjoyable experience.

Great Time!!

Barbara_B, May 2025

Wow!! So incredible! The river was beautiful, the lunch was yummy, the videos turned out great, and the zip lining was so fun! Highly recommend. Americano and Anderson did a wonderful job hosting us.

Great experience! We went...

Gabriella_S, Apr 2025

Great experience! We went in April and the water levels were high, so we got some great rapids. Felt safe the entire time.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thank you for sharing your experience! I’m so glad to hear you had such a great time, and that the water levels were perfect for some exciting rapids. It's reassuring to know you felt safe the whole time. I really appreciate your feedback!"

Amazing Experience, Bring Your Own Wetsuit if Possible

Jamie_B, Dec 2024

Amazing rapids and great safety instruction. Still so thrilled by the experience but some small suggestions for improvement: the wetsuits were very insufficient (many sizes too big and no wet suit tops) and we were all hypothermic by the end, the food was marginal and there was no choice but the dish served. We ate the soup only. The zip line was a fun and thrilling addition at the end. Nice guide and also liked the later start (8:15am pickup).

Highlight of our trip!

Yana_A, May 2024

This was such a fun day! White water rafting was a blast, and our guide was incredibly fun and professional. I felt safe at every point and truly had a great time. It felt like the perfect length and then we got to warm up in the sauna and relax with a great lunch! Hoping to do the 3-day excursion next time!!

10/10 would recommend

Logan_M, May 2024

We were nervous about this at first, but after meeting Anderson and getting shown the basics we knew it was going to be fun. It was one of the best experiences we had in Peru.

Epic adventure on white water.

Martin_H, May 2024

Riding the class 3 and 4 rapids. The lunch served after rafting. The very friendly and enthusiastic guide.

Don't take this tour!

Matthew_Y, Apr 2024

I've been on better day river rafting excursions. The guide, David, appeared somewhat knowledgable on safety procedures with rafting. But when he invited the paid guests to jump in the river for a swim, everything changed in the experience. The particular area of the river where he let us swim was very fast-moving and about 5 feet deep. After 2 minutes of swimming, trying to keep up with river current, I lost control, and suddenly was not able to swim. I give the guides some credit for trying to attempt to rescue me, but they were slow to approach me where I was , and due to heaviness weight of the required wear of wetsuit and helmut they provided, I was immobilized, had no ability to see my surroundings. I panicked, and almost passed out, floating on the river surface and/or almost drowned. The guides appeared to be insufficiently trained to help in this. After the near-death experience I had, our group was then invited to a lodge prepared meal that looked like slop (boiled chicken drowned in distasteful sauce), and piled up rice with no flavor. The guide originally offered passion fruit juice earlier in the tour, but during meal, explained that was not available. Also my partner couldn't eat their plated food after discovering human eye lashes on their food plate. We also were invited to experience zip lining activity as part of the tour. So disappointed with this part, because there were only 2 lines installed for the course, and to even begin the activity, you have to climb a rickety old metal ladder as part of a tower to reach the top platform, and you have to manage your own belaying equipment to even get to the top, and little supervision was provided for this. It all looked very sketchy and full of deathly risks. Overall, this tour was way overpriced considering the low quality of service and guidance provided. Would not recommend this particular tour to anyone else. They also charge for towel rental, that mine was stained from previous guests. Also, they try to promote providing photo snd video of you in the experience, but leave the actual camera use to raft riders, and then gouge you with extra cost for receiving the recorded material, which you pay in advance before being allowed to view previews so you can check quality of what you pay for.

Even if you’re scared, just do it!

I’m so glad I had this experience. I’ve never done it before and I was traveling off peak so I happened to be the only one to book for the day. They still accommodated me and even though I was super nervous about the lack of people, I was reassured it would be okay and we took to the river and it felt amazing. The scenery alone was worth every minute. I never felt unsafe even as a complete novice. I opted to not zipline and spent time in the sauna and ate a delicious quinoa and pumpkin soup and chicken and potato dish that was probably easily some of the tastier food I’ve had during my trip. It should be noted that video is not included but the price isn’t unreasonable if you want to save the experience. Thanks Anderson and team for such a memorable experience.

Great trip, would recommend!

Devon_G, Oct 2023

The experience was great! Wish I had known about their combination with an overnight trip and trip to Rainbow Mountain the next day!

A great family adventure

William_S, Jul 2023

This was one a great trip. The guides were excellent and our family had a great time. The zip lining was pretty basic, but safe and enjoyable. The rafting was better than I anticipated with some fun and fierce rapids. Lunch afterwards was great too. Thanks!

Excellent tour operator

Thomas_H, Jul 2023

Excellent and helpful tour operator who were even flexible on the day of the event. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

Fantastic rafting & zip lining excursion!

Silhi_D, Apr 2023

What a fun day! David and Gabriel made our zip lining and rafting trip an awesome experience! They were puntual in picking us up from our hotel in Cusco and transportation was great! Zip lining was first and it was a blast (and very safe 😄)! David and Gabriel were thorough with the safety instructions and ensured we felt safe throughout the adventure. The commands were easy to follow and although we got to level 3+ rapids, no one fell out. Well, unintentionally that is. LOL We even stopped along the way to jump off a rock into the very cold water. Believe or not, the cold temps didn’t bother us since we used a lot of energy rafting. Once the rafting adventure was over, we were treated to a nice sauna, bath if we wanted to take one, and a fantastic meal! The facilities were great and everyone around ensured we had a great time which we did. Would highly recommend this excursion! 10 out of 10! 👍🏼😄
