About River Explorers
River Explorers is a dedicated white-water rafting outfitter operating from Calca in the Sacred Valley, just outside Cusco. The company focuses exclusively on river adventures, running guided rafting and multi-day river expeditions on some of southern Peru's most spectacular Andean rivers.
Their trips span the Urubamba River, with year-round day runs suitable for adventurers aged nine and up, and the more demanding Apurimac River, where multi-day expeditions through the Black Canyon and Granite Canyon tackle Class II to Class V rapids. They also offer an exclusive 10-day Yavero River expedition linking the high Andes to the edge of the Amazon. All trips run with certified river guides, safety kayakers and quality rafting equipment.
River Explorers stands out for its specialist focus and serious whitewater pedigree — these are river runners who design trips around the rapids rather than treating rafting as an add-on. From a gentle Sacred Valley float to a multi-day canyon expedition, they cater to everyone from first-timers to experienced paddlers chasing big water.
