Rafting in the Paiva River is the perfect sport for those who want to enjoy nature and at the same time discharge energy and feel a high adrenaline rush since, in general, it's about descending a river aboard an inflatable raft and paddling to follow the strong currents and rapids found on the way. Are you ready for the adventure?

This is a level III or IV rafting experience in the Paiva River, that is to say, medium or advanced, so accessible for children from 6 years old! Once you're there, the instructor will guide you and give you all the necessary indications so that you are completely safe and have a lot of fun.

You will go down the ravine to the rhythm of the rapids that will provide you with a fast and adrenaline-filled time, and along the way, you will stop to jump or take a dip in the river, if you want to. At the end of the descent, the instructor will take you by jeep back to the meeting point, where you can take a hot shower and a snack will be provided for you to regain your energy.
