Romantic Getaways Cusco
While Cusco itself is nestled high in the Andes Mountains and doesn’t offer immediate access to large bodies of water, there are opportunities for water activities within a reasonable distance:
Sacred Valley:
- Whitewater Rafting: The Urubamba River, which flows through the Sacred Valley, offers thrilling whitewater rafting experiences. Several tour operators provide trips suitable for different skill levels, from beginners to experienced rafters.
- Kayaking: Enjoy a more serene paddling experience on Lake Piuray or Lake Titicaca (further afield).
Tips:
- Book in advance: Especially during peak season, it’s wise to reserve your water activity in advance to secure your spot.
- Check the weather: Weather conditions can impact water activities, so check the forecast before heading out.
- Choose a reputable operator: Ensure the tour company has experienced guides and prioritizes safety.
Remember to pack appropriate clothing for water activities, including swimwear, quick-drying clothes, sunscreen, and a hat.
