May 2009 a group of british paddlers headed out to the jungle of Peru, the mission was to paddle the first descent of the Rio Concebidayoc a remote jungle river hidden deep in a gorge close to the ancient Inca ruins of Espiritu Pampa the last city of the Inca, the team warmed up on the Deepest canyon in the world the Rio Cotahuasi and the Santa Terasa section of the Urabamba before heading of with mules in to the jungle. The river turned out to be a real gem 4 days of continuous 4+ with the odd class 5, stunning scenery and wildlife. one major 9 hours jungle bashing portage.
The Team, Pete Catterall, Jon Green, Adam Harmer and Paul Cripps. to read the trip report check out our website.
