What we will do
We will meet at 10 a .m. at the rafting centre in Laino Borgo, in the province of Cosenza. We will meet the guides, receive thenecessary equipment , and move by shuttle bus to the starting point of the river walking route.
This is a walk inside the river bed, with our feet in the water and the opportunity to observe aquatic animals up close. Together with the guide, we will discover the flora and fauna that characterise the place, for a fun, instructive and exciting experience for adults and children alike.
After about an hour's walk, we will arrive at a point on the river where other guides with rafting rafts will be waiting for us. Here the water level gets higher and our excursion will continue on board the rafts.
The rafting route is simple and suitable for everyone, with small rapids that will give us that touch of adrenalin that is inevitable in any adventure in nature! At the end of the route, we will disembark and return by shuttle bus to the rafting centre. The activity will last approximately 2 hours in total.
