Apurimac River Rafting Summary

My 3-day rafting trip to the Apurimac River was an awesome part of my travels, but definitely got off to a rough start. I returned from Machu Picchu to Cusco at about 10pm after leaving at 4pm because the train was delayed due to engine issues. I was feeling pretty sick at this point—I was exhausted from travel, my throat was sore, I was starting to get a fever, so I just wanted to get to sleep. When I found out one of my roommates was an Australian girl who had been bed-ridden from sickness all day, I knew I was in for a long night. I was further vindicated when I went to go take a shower, and there was a schwasted girl sitting down on the ground with her friends all around her trying to get her to drink water. Sigh… oh Loki Hostels. It was like undergrad all over again.

This will just be a higher level summary of tips.

Today has been my most action packed day in Peru so far, but it is just the start of the busy part of my trip. Tomorrow morning, I am going to be doing a 4-day/3-night trip to Machu Picchu followed immediately by a 3-day/2-night trip to the Apurimac River. I doubt I’ll be posting much at all for the next week, but I will be taking pics, videos, and writing offline.
