Rafting in Umbria: everything you need to know

Rafting is a sporting discipline that involves descending a stream in a raft. Each raft can accommodate a maximum of 8 people.
Before setting off, a short basic lesson is held to learn how to properly use the paddles and the rest of the equipment. In addition to a swimsuit, participants wear a neoprene wetsuit, a life jacket and a protective helmet to travel safely.
Once on board, the rafting guide gives commands to the crew to move through the natural obstacles along the river.
