Food is not included.<\/p><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"faq-question\">Where does the rafting tour start in Arequipa?<\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>Pickup is from hotels inside Arequipa&#8217;s historic center at the time you choose among the available departures. You&#8217;re then driven to the starting point in the Chilina Valley and brought back near the Plaza de Armas afterwards.<\/p><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"faq-question\">What is the best time of day for rafting in Arequipa: 8am, 11am or 2pm?<\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>All three run the same route, so it depends on your plans: 8am frees your afternoon, 11am skips the early start and 2pm works if you land on a morning flight. Since the tour takes about 4 hours in total, pick the slot that fits what you want to do before and after.<\/p><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"faq-question\">How long does Chili River rafting take?<\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>The whole experience takes about 4 hours including transfer, briefing, the descent and the return. Time on the water is roughly 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on river flow and weather.<\/p><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"faq-question\">Do I need to know how to swim or have rafting experience?<\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>No previous experience is needed: the rapids are class II and III and your guide gives instructions before you start. Knowing how to swim and being in moderate physical shape is recommended. It&#8217;s not advised for people with heart problems, serious injuries or pregnant travelers.<\/p><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <p>Choosing the right rafting time in Arequipa is what makes the day fit the rest of your trip.
