Trek with Bamba was fantastic
The Lares Trek with Bamba was a fantastic experience. Francisco was an incredible guide, sharing his knowledge and passion for the Inca culture. The food was excellent, and the support from the porters and chef was-top notch. This trek was truly memorable. We extended our adventure to the Amazon in Puerto Maldonado, and the jungle experience was breathtaking.

Beautiful experience
Fransico our guide was very much on time and he had good knowledge in his work. He added fun to the journey by making us to understand little histories of the plants and animals we encounter. Most probably more of a moderate trail with ample photo stops of course. So after the Inca Trail we stayed for a few days more and went to Amazon where we visited Puerto Maldonado. It was a real life scenario with one of the most beautiful experiencing of wildlife and an adventurous journey through the forests of the Amazon. Very strongly suggested to get the service of Bamba for an ultimate Peru adventure.

Super fun day out - good quality/safety
Our raft guide was clearly very highly experienced/skilled and there was also a support canoe - pretty impressive safety cover given there were only three of us! Bear in mind that peak season for tourism is the dry season - so it’s not crazy adrenaline rapids (class 3 max) - but that means this is suitable for any age/experience and our guide knew how to make sure we still had LOTS of fun. All of this based from a beautiful little lodge, and the sauna at the end is a fab little touch - basic, but just what you need post rafting. The “zip line” is a bit basic - think of it as an add-on to a rafting-based day - but it was good fun (2 runs - over the river and back). And I think they’ve responded well to some of the previous comments - eg - you now clip on to a safety wire as you climb the ladder up. - we all got Email and WhatsApp links to the GoPro videos, which were awesome (and very well priced).

Cusco Rafting and Zipline Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Cusco Rafting and Zipline Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cusco Rafting and Zipline Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.
Is Cusco Rafting and Zipline Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 47 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cusco Rafting and Zipline Adventure?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cusco Rafting and Zipline Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cusco Rafting and Zipline Adventure?
+
Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cusco Rafting and Zipline Adventure start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cusco?
+
On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cusco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cusco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
Included: Guaranteed security team; Lunch; Rafting equipment, Wetsuit, Life-jacket & Helmet; Accommodation pick-up; and Zip-line experience. Not included: Drinks at Lunch; Rafting Shoes; Tips; and Hotel drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Cusco Rafting and Zipline Adventure include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 203 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Cusco Rafting and Zipline Adventure offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Cusco Rafting and Zipline Adventure?
+

Is Cusco Rafting and Zipline Adventure wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
