What we will do
We will meet 30 minutes before the time indicated in the booking in Vallo di Nera, in the province of Perugia. Here we will meet the guide who will accompany us for the duration of the excursion and we will be given all the equipment we need to descend the river Nera by canoe.
By shuttle we will reach the embarkation point and, before lowering the canoes into the water, we will have a theoretical and practical lesson on how to behave in the river. When we are ready, the real adventure will begin, which will take us along a 5 km stretch on the Nera.
We will learn the main canoeing techniques and in the meantime we will be able to admire the beautiful vegetation and fauna that populate the river banks. We will paddle calmly and quietly, pausing at the most evocative spots to breathe in the scent of river nature.
At the landing point, there will be a shuttle bus to take us back to the starting point. The duration of the activity is approximately 2 hours.
Who it is aimed at
This activity is at an easy level and is for everyone from 14 years old and up. No previous canoeing experience is necessary.
