Rafting in Arequipa: Chili River

Rafting in Arequipa is an exciting experience and the best option for anyone with a couple of free hours, just 20 minutes from downtown Arequipa.

We traveled a section of 6 kilometers with the rapids from class I to class IV, with a time of approximately 1.15 to 1.30 hours in the Chili river. The tour lasts a total of approximately 3 hours in our beautiful valley of Chilina.

We execute fast and continuous sections of classes II and III being these an intermediate level, taking into account that the international classification is on the class V.

There are two class IV rapids that we can found. If necessary, these rapids can be omitted with a simple walk of 200 meters. This is a good option for passengers who usually travel with children.

DESCRIPTION
