We took 2 tours with River Explorers: A 4 day river rafting tour on the Apurimac River and the 4 Day Incan trail to Machu Picchu. The River Rafting was AMAZING! Beautiful Scenery and unreal rafting! The people are what makes this tour, though. Our guides were knowledgeable, funny, and really wanted to get to know everyone on the trip.... More

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with river explorers. Our guide, Jimmy, was very professional, knowledgable, and fun. We did the Inca Jungle Tour which included downhill mountain biking, white water rafting, and an awesome zipline. River Explorers took care of all of the details of everything (except the zipline because that was just an option at one of the... More

We were in Peru for 20 days and had five free days. We decided to go on the 'Inca Jungle Trek', which in writing looked exciting. In reality, we drove a few hours from Cusco, coasted down a mountain road (occasionally choking on the exhaust of the cars surrounding us), got back into the car, drove another hour or so... More

The Inca Jungle is advertised as a multisport alternative to the Inca Trail. it features biking, rafting & hiking along the Salcantay Trek. The biking was on a mountain bike down a road, first 25 km paved then gravel, but competing with autos & trucks and followed closely by the support auto (too closely). The accommodations are limited & rustic,... More

I've been to Cusco, Peru several times now and traveled with a number of companies. Of them, River Explorers is easily my favorite for their true passion in adventure and so many times that I see them make decisions in favor of safety and the enjoyment of the passengers instead of simply running a business. Of the trips from Cusco,... More

My girlfriend and I returned last week from the 5 day/4 night Salkantay Trek offered by River Explorers. We booked the trip expecting to be part of a larger group of tourists but ultimately we were provided a private tour (at the same cost) since no one else booked the trek. The good: - A+ to the team for effort.... More

We have rafted in several places, this was very scenic and got you out of town. The rapids were okay, a bit tame, they said class 3 but more like class 2. Great for families or first timers, but if you are looking for thrilling adventure this river is so-so. Maybe we went a bad time but i don't think... More

My boyfriend and I used River Explorers for the 3 day Apurimac rafting trip, the Sacred Valley Tour and the 4 day Inca trail. Both trips exceeded expectations immensely.. the guides were the best, the porters and chefs were brilliant, the food was delicious and the overall experience was amazing. For the rafting, we had Jean Claude, who was great... More
