Rafting: what you need to know before praticing it

Rafting is a team water sport practiced on special boats, the rafts, and involves descending the course of a river or mountain stream. On board each raft, there’s a rafting guide who gives commands to the group. Thus, the crew guides the raft down the river overcoming rapids and other natural obstacles.

First things first, you have to wear the wetsuit and the rest of the equipment. After reaching the embarkation point, the guide holds a technical briefing on paddle use. The trails are always fun and scenic and alternate between quiet and dynamic stretches. Finally, you return to the base of the rafting center, where you can often stay and enjoy some relaxing time.

A rafting trip in Umbria can last from 1 to 2 hours, and depending on your level, you can choose the route that best suits your needs. Usually, rafting is done from April to October, when the river flow is optimal.
