Full description
Abruzzo is synonymous with wonder, tranquillity and resilience. From today, also of absolute fun !
Experience canoeing at the source of the Pescara river and master the currents in the company of the whole family.
A scenic mini trek will complete the magic of this day. We are waiting for you!
What we will do
The meeting will take place at the meeting point in Popoli (PE), 15 minutes before the time selected at the time of booking. We will be welcomed by our expert guide, ready to lead us to discover the wonders of Abruzzo.
We will immediately set off along a route of about 300 metres to reach the point where we board our canoes. The guide will explain the operation of the boat to us, assigning us the one most suitable for us. To ensure maximum safety during our experience, the guide will remain at our side throughout our stay on the water.
The reserve we will be exploring is characterised by its crystal-clear water: we will have the unique opportunity to navigate the course of the Pescara river in complete respect for the ecosystem, carrying out our activity in the so-called buffer zone, about 300 metres outside the heart of the reserve.
We will descend the river in our canoes and then sail upstream upstream to our starting point. Along the way we will admire the Popoli Castle and the small village of the same name, a great variety of lush vegetation, and fascinating local fauna, symbolised by the coot, a bird that finds its ideal habitat in this area.
During the walking part of the trek, we will catch a glimpse of the resurgence with its unmistakable colours, and admire the flocks of birds and various animal species that inhabit the area. Bird watching will be the icing on the cake of our day!
After about 2 hours, about half of which will be spent canoeing and the other walking, we will return to the starting point. The route will be about 1 km long in total.
