From €13 per person
See availability →Chili River rafting in Arequipa: a 6-kilometer run through the Chilina Valley with certified guides, full gear, volcano views and a snack at the end.
Chili River rafting in Arequipa starts just minutes from downtown and ends with a snack after the rapids. It is open to beginners, families and thrill-seekers, and certified guides lead each run with the full gear provided.
You are collected at your hotel or at the Cathedral gate on the Plaza de Armas. The first stop is the storage facility, to put on clean neoprene wetsuits and booties. Then the transport heads to the Chilina Valley, a drive of 15 to 25 minutes depending on traffic, with a short photo stop for the three volcanoes of Arequipa: Misti, Chachani and Pichu Pichu.
At a private camp by the river, the life jacket, helmet and paddle are handed out, and the guides explain the safety rules and the commands you will hear on the water. The descent covers 6 kilometers and about an hour and a quarter of rafting. Along the way you can try an inflatable kayak, or jump from a cliff into a calm, safe stretch and swim.
