Rafting Chili River - Arequipa

Experience river rafting just 20 minutes away from Arequipa’s main square. The Chili River has low flows but the rapids can reach classes II, III and IV. The combination of the low river flow and fast rapids steps this activity up to a technical, fast and fun-packed level; a definite must for those who find their way into the city of Arequipa.

The tour begins with pick ups from your hostel or hotel. A quick stopover at our office on the way to Chili River allows you ready yourself for the excursion. Here you will be allowed use of the facilities in order to change into the appropriate clothing, as well as being given the necessary equipment. We recommend you bring a small backpack to store your clothes and belongings. You will then receive a safety briefing and be given instructions by the guides before hopping on the rafts and beginning the journey on the Chili River.

Prepare to enjoy an invigorating adventure as you rage with the river’s flow. Take in the sights and the landscape of the Chilina Valley as you ready yourself for a wet and wild trip downstream.

After an exhilarating experience rafting down Chili River we will make our way back into Arequipa’s main square.

1. I cannot find my accommodation listed in the operator pick up locations as I make my booking. What can I select?

   This operator only offers pick-ups from the hotel and hostel accommodations listed. This list covers over 90% of the accommodation providers in the area. They do not provide pick-ups or drop-offs at private residences, Airbnbs, bus terminals etc. If you cannot find your hotel on the list, please select an alternative pick up location close by and be ready for pick-up at the time shown on your booking confirmation.

2. How physically fit do I need to be?

   You don´t have to be super fit. The level of rafting is intermediate and you will be in the water for about one hour and thirty minutes.

3. Is it possible to take my child with me?

   The minimum age for our rafting trip is 8 years. We have all the equipment available, this includes sizes for children.

4. What is the level/difficulty of rafting and how much time will we spend in the water?

   We run a 6 km section with rapids up to class IV with an approximate floating time of 1.15 to 1.30 hours in the river. The tour takes a total of around 3 hours in our beautiful Chilina Valley

5. Is it true, that rafting can get dangerous during the rainy season (Dec-Apr)?

   If it rains a lot, which happens mostly in February/March the water level can get really high. In that case we will not go to the river as the river can get really wild.

6. I am traveling solo, is there a way to add me to another group that may be going on my date of travel?

   If you are traveling alone, no problem. We have groups every day, so we can easily add you to one of them.
