The sacred rivers of Peru will test kayakers once more while they explore the white water surrounding one of the Wonders of the World at the second edition of the Machu Picchu Kayak Fest.
On November 3rd, 4th and 5th, this kayak competition will once again fill the streets of Santa Teresa town with color as kayakers celebrate the sport and immaculate scenery of South America.

Participants will paddle the Vilcanota River, located near the Incas citadel in Cusco, Peru. With sections ranging from Class II to V Plus, the downriver, boater cross, slalom and SUP races will bode well for kayakers of any level.

The festival also promotes river conservation, while providing support to the local community of Santa Teresa.
