Rafting in the Valnerina in the province of Perugia: 10 km on the Nera River

Did someone say "Rafting"?!

This 3-hour experience will give you an immersion in the world of rafting with a 10 km descent on the Nera river, in the province of Perugia.

Between swimming in the current, diving, and some interesting facts about the area... fun is guaranteed!

What we will do

The meeting point is 20 minutes before the indicated time at the meeting point in Scheggino (PG).

We will be welcomed by the rafting centre staff, who will hand over theequipment (included): wetsuit, water jacket, life jacket, helmet and shoes. The changing rooms, equipped with showers and toilets, will allow us to change comfortably and leave our personal belongings in a secure storage room (facilities included).

Once we are ready, we will board one of the centre's vans to reach the activity venue, just a few minutes away. On the way, our guide will tell us some interesting facts about the valley, the history of the area and the river Nera.

When we arrive at our destination, we will unload our dinghies and paddles and participate in a briefing of about 10 minutes about the activity. At that point, we will be ready to set off on our adventure!

Climbing aboard the dinghy, we will begin the 10-km descent from Vallo di Nera, one of Italy's 100 most beautiful villages, to Scheggino, surrounded by beautiful vegetation. And between paddling and a few laughs, we will discover together with the guide how to behave in this natural setting and how to swim in the current. We will stop at various points to take some photos (not included) and to dive into some beautiful natural pools.

At the end of the route we will return to the base, change our clothes and relax in the picnic area or at the centre's refreshment point.

The activity will last about 3 hours in total (including briefing, descent and transfers), of which about 2½ hours will be spent in the water.
