Adventure Sports International Festival in Lunahuana

ALDEA, the Latin American Association for Adventure Sports, is organizing its 18th Adventure Sports International Festival, to be held as usual in the magnificent Lunahuaná valley. This edition of the festival includes three different competitions: rafting and kayaking, artificial rock wall climbing, and mountain biking.

The almost 2-decade long experience of ALDEA assures that the festival will be a success. The association has been promoting and making popular the practice of adventures sports and eco-tourism in Peru. The Lunahuaná Festival, with its 17 previous editions, is the prime adventure sports event in the country.

The Lunahuaná district is located in the Cañete province (Lima department), some 40 km east of the provincial capital, San Vicente, and 180km south of Lima. To get there, drive to the km. 143 of the Panamericana Sur, and turn left (east) following the road signs to Lunahuaná (after passing by the cities of San Vicente and Imperial).

Lunahuaná, besides an adventure sports paradise, is a nice tourist destination for its cultural and archaeological attractions. It’s located along a fertile valley plenty with vineyards and orchards, and includes the Incahuasi archaeological site, the colonial church of Apóstol Santiago, and the suspended bridge of Catapalla.
