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.

Back to the Future.
A lovely day. I did this route several years ago, also in this area, and it took me on a pleasant trip down memory lane. I’ll definitely do it again, but spread over several days.

A wonderful experience – perfectly organised, with friendly and knowledgeable guides who were brilliant at motivating you to get the most out of it; though, to be honest, they actually did all the work themselves 😂
