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!

I signed up for this event way in advance and the morning of was packed and ready to go. I waited and ended up having to contact the company. I was informed that the event had been cancelled but no one bothered to tell me. I asked for a refund but still haven't received one. I will need to call again to get my money back. Totally wasted my time with this. Terrible communication.

12/10 would recommend! As a solo female traveler I felt very safe and the tour guides made a great effort to make everyone feel included. You’re on the water for about 2 hours and the guides do a great job of getting everyone in the photos and videos so you have great memories to take away. There is a sauna at the end, so would recommend everyone to bring a second pair of clothes or shorts instead of long pants so you can change after being all soaked and enjoy the sauna. Food was great as well

We had a great time white water rafting with David! He was a very patient instructor and great guide for our 7 mile rafting experience. We learned some great techniques, and he led our celebrations each time we conquered a challenging rapid.
It was wonderful that they provided wet suits, jacket, and water shoes. The sauna and lunch afterward was a great wrap up to the rafting experience.
The zipline wasn't as well set up. But, what a deal just with the rafting and lunch. A great way to experience another part of Peru!

Great rapids and guides. The Zipline ladder needs safety grades like a cage and hand rails located several inches away from platform structure cross beam. Stairs to platform would much better

Be sure to wear a bathing suit under your wet suit. Bring your own towels. Showers were warm/great pressure. Sauna was Smokey hurt my eyes/lungs for a minute. Food was great lomos saltados/Quinea soup/hot water/tea/coffee/juice. The ladder to zip line was scary for me but I overcame it & had a blast zip lining. Was definitely a workout paddling.
