Very Great - You get all the Safety equipment you need and even wetsuits because the water is quite chilly.
The instructions were also very clear and they made sure you understood.

Fun Time! - Family of four from New Jersey (50, 49, 16 and 14). Some rafting experience (Hudson Gorge and black river in New York State), rafted the Rio Chili outside Arequipa on 12/31/23.
Very convenient, the drop in was only 20 min from Plaza de Armas. The river was much more narrow, making it more exciting and exhilerating, compared to what we are used to in the Northeast. The actual rafting was only 1.5hrs but there were very few slow parts, so it is an intense 90 minutes!
Victor was our guide and did a masterful job steering the raft!
