It's so sad to see these lovely people be victims of a company's greed for money. Such a tragedy. Nishant was a promising medical student. As the previous commenter said Nishant was 1 in a Million. I won't say goodbye because you'll always be in my heart, and no one can steal the memories I have of you away from me. Rest in peace Nishant and the innocent girl

Boycott Peru tourism. These tour guides have responsibilities to keep their customers safe when welcoming in international visitors. US would not dare risk lives like this, and if so, would face MURDER charges. May these deaths be on the consciences of these tour guides and Peru officials for the rest of their living lives. RIP Alycia

I married into Alycias family. I've known her over ten years. She was the sweetest girl you could ever hope to meet. For those who are uninformed, she was wearing a life vest and helmet. She was by no means a thrill seeker. The only way she would have gotten into that boat is if she thought it was completely safe. For those who've never been whitewater rafting, you have no idea what you're in for until you get to the rapids. When you launch, you do it in calm water. In fact most of your trip is in calm water. You rely on the guides to make sure the boats in the right place and heading the right way when you head into the rapids. Those guides have to know what they're doing and have to know the river. These guides should have known the river well enough to know that it was unsafe that day. They should have stopped the trip before they even left. Alycias death and the death of the other young man are on their hands.

Nellisun u must of been one of the guides. It is the tour company responsible for keeping there rafters safe. Unfortunately you see all they look for is the mighty $. I have been signed up for many overseas adventures from rafting to zip lining. And I can tell you when we were in Belize they canceled the rafting trip because of the rains and high fast waters. We as tourist rely on the tour company to keep us safe and informed. To me it doesn't look like that happened especially when you read all 3 boats capsized and more unfortunate 2 people had to die in this tragic accident that shouldn't of happen. The families deserve answers. And reassurance that this just won't happen to another family. Google about this tour it's not the first 2 Austraian women lost there life's also I read a Harvard law student same thing happened and many more to many to quote. You can all google rafting accidents in cusco and see them all for yourself. Please if everyone who knows of someone doing this tour to forwarren them. Lets save there life since we couldn't on any of these other life's. we owe that to them to be responsible if the tour company can't. RIP to those who have all lost there life doing this adventure they were trying to scratch from there bucket list.

Yes, but you as a tourist need to take responsiblity for yourselves also. This is rainy season and the waters are stronger than usual now. This is not the time to go rafting... Then you must check the agencies credentials. Some tourist look for cheap tours and they pay the price..

It makes me sick the hear and read about this. When will owners of the adventure companies in Cusco start thinking about their responsibility. Not sending well trained quides for this level of water, safety, good equipment... You are playing with peoples life... Please let this stop

Why is anyone surprised? You have non professionals acting/pretending that they are experienced professionals in many adventure tours in Peru.

Alicia was someones daughter, sister, friend, and had her whole life ahead of her. Our hearts go out to all that knew her. Lifevests....not the answer in these waters. Please be respectful she had a family and friends that love her and will miss her FOREVER.

Please always keep in mind that the only person that can take the best decision of what is right for you...is YOU. These so called guides live of tourism, and if the river is strong, they don't make a living, therefore will always try to convince you are safe. I hope my advise may save a life one day....
