Urubamba River, Ucayali Region, Peru
4.5 (23 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Sepahua Bodies of Water
Gorgeous River Surrounded by Mountains and Lush Vegetation
We experienced the Urubamba River both on our train trip from Cusco to Aguas Calientes,, walking along a beautiful riverside park in Aguas Calientes, and the view from our hotel room. As you go down the river, you see fast water, deep canyons, and occasional Inca ruins and terraces. The further down you go, the more lush it becomes. Out hotel was just on the north side of Aguas Calientes. Here there is lush vegetation, plunging mountains, and tropical flowers replete with happy hummingbirds. Loved sitting on the deck our hotel room, listening to the river and watching the shifting light on the water and mountains, a zen moment.

Fun experience
A beautiful river and an exciting experience rafting on the Urubamba River. The rafting was booked through our tour and our guide was excellent. What a lovely part of the world!

Fall on Urubamba river
What a beautiful area. The river canyon, fall, and "road". I rode dirt bike from from Huanuco to Pucallpa. A good ride but a trying one with road condition and those agreesive Peruvian drivers. I traveled with a small group in pickups and a van. This region is simply beautiful with very few tourist, at least American tourist.
