Arriondas River Sella Canoeing
Description
We'll meet at the scheduled time and set off from the Plaza Venancio Pando de Arriondas and head for the banks of the River Sella. Once there, we'll receive a briefing from the guide, which will last around 15 minutes and then get into the canoes. Are you ready to experience the most popular canoeing route in Spain?
During this 4-hour excursion, on your chosen route, we'll paddle downstream to get to know the landscape that runs between Arriondas and Llovio and the nearby towns. As well as this, if you wish, we'll delight in a delicious picnic lunch consisting of a sandwich, a candy bar, a fruit and a bottle of water.
Once we've finished our descent along the River Sella, we'll make our way back to the meeting point.
Schedule
The descent is done by yourself, every 15 minutes, between 11 am and 6 pm.
