This is not your average tour. It's heading out to explore with Cristóbal: the packraft rides in your backpack, you paddle where there's water and hike where there isn't, reading the landscape without hurry.

Cutipay Wetland Lookout Tour 01 Most popular

Cutipay Wetland Lookout Tour

Low-intensity hybrid trip: we hike and paddle along the wetland trail up to the lookout.

Discover the Cutipay Wetland Nature Sanctuary and its history on a guided hybrid trip, hiking and paddling a packraft. We walk towards the Cutipay river wetland, deciding together whether to start on foot or on the water. Both routes are low intensity on water and on land. We'll spot flora, birds and —with a bit of luck— some mammals.
