Rafting Santa Maria Cusco FAQs

How fit should I be to go rafting? Is it strenuous?

On some of our more challenging rivers where unintentional swimming, long hiking or high elevations are a possibility, a higher level of fitness is advised. Always discuss with our staff if you’re unsure what’s acceptable for you. If you’re still in doubt about your ability to go rafting, or your fitness, check with your doctor before you go. While many trips require little physical fitness, being in good shape will enhance your vacation.

I am a senior citizen. Can I go rafting?

Yes! Inca Jungle has taken people in their nineties on our trips. It’s important that you’re fit and active and choose an appropriate trip. Many grandparents bring their grandchildren on our Family Magic trips. Special “Elder Rafting” and “Canoeing” trips, exclusively for seniors, are offered as well.
