Met up with some old friends then ran the Upper Apurimac with Noel (a local boater) from the confluence of the Rio Velille. A full on syphon infested river. Expedition boating Peruvian style!!
It took us a day to run the Upper section to where the Black Canyon started.
The next day we were into the Black Canyon, some great waves and drops at the start and some good rapids near the exit of the Canyon. This section normally takes the rafts 4 days, we did in one long one!!!!
At the start of the commercial Apurimac section Noel and I met up Segundo from Aqua Trek and continued down the river. A couple of cruisy days running some great "class III down the middle"
The only disappointment was not having a grill at the take-out of the river! Maybe the Israeli's had booked the cheap trip?!!
I had a few days in Cusco to kill, chilling at Roots and eating at Real McCoy's, then it was time to meet up with John and the Abyss was calling!

Hey Steve, long one day long, jejeje, was a nice kayak expedition experience, Nice pictures of the Canyon, maybe the israelians prefer "un quaquer buenaso" more than a bbq,
