The
Cañete River, south of the city of Lima, is without
a doubt a rafting favorite amongst Lima enthusiasts. The stretch
that can be paddled, near the pleasant fruit-growing region
of Lunahuaná, 160 km southeast of Lima, features Class
II-IV rapids. The rafting season runs from October to April.
The Tumbes River, which flows through the Tumbes department,
is the fastest-flowing river along the Peruvian coast. The
stretch chosen for rafting, between the communities of Figueroa
and Rica Playa, includes Class II-IV rapids along a two-three
day journey through the scenic dry forests of the Tumbes Reserved
Zone, which teem with alligators, river otters and iguana
lizards. The rafting season runs from May to October.
