The paddleable section of the Urubamba begins on the left of the picture, with Machu Picchu to the right! |
This day section of the Urubamba begins close to the train station for Machu Picchu and ends at the waterfall where the water extracted for the hydroelectric power station re-enters the river. The removal of water from the river here has turned an otherwise un-paddlable stretch of whitewater into a great low volume class 5 creek with some great boof drops amongst giant boulders!

We paddled this section with Gian Marco, who pioneered the first decent last year! We expect we made the first British descent of this section.
