Everything you need to know about rafting
Rafting is a group river sport that involves traveling down the course of a river or mountain stream in special boats, the rafts. Each raft carries a crew of 6 to 8 people, captained by an experienced guide who coordinates movements and gives commands to overcome rapids and other natural obstacles.
Rafting is a sport for everyone. You don’t need to have any specific training; you just need to choose the path that best suits your level. Before entering the water, a lecture is given on basic techniques and safety rules, and you are immediately ready to go.
The best time for rafting is generally from April to October. You need to wear a bathing suit, thermal T-shirt and sneakers you’re fine with getting wet. All other equipment is provided by the rafting center.

Adrenalin in safety
Excellent organisation that provides a safe experience even for inexperienced tourists. The river offers a fun, at times exciting, but not frightening course. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The quality of the photos and videos taken by Santiago are excellent and worth taking, not least because the cost is absolutely reasonable.

Unforgettable
First time rafting and wow! 🚣♂️ I was a bit tense at first, especially when they explained that we were going to get very wet (and yes, the water is really cold 😅). But after the first rapid I relaxed and started to enjoy it: the feeling of going down the river, the sound of the water and the laughter of the group is priceless. At the end we were all soaked, tired... and super happy, really worth it at least once in a lifetime
