Rafting consists of the descent of white water in inflatable boats along the river Noguera Pallaresa, always accompanied by a qualified guide. Each boat can accommodate between six and eight people.
What are the essentials? Above all and most importantly: knowing how to swim. And secondly, less important, but highly recommended: a sense of humor to deal with possible dumps and soaking that may occur during the descent.

Can you imagine going down the head of the Noguera Pallaresa with a traditional boat? We offer you a whole adventure with these rubber canoes, about two and a half meters long, with a capacity for two, three or four people.
The excitement is that you yourself have to be in charge of steering the boat (with the help, of course, of a monitor if necessary)!
The best time to do this is in spring and summer, when temperatures are higher and whitewater rivers are stronger.
If you want strong emotions, join hydrospeed, the best river descent in the Pyrenees that will make you feel part of it.
You will interact with the river and its intensity, moving with a "water sled"! In addition, you will swim to propel yourself always following the line marked by the river and the monitors who lead the group.
This aquatic activity is suitable for over 16s and requires a minimum of physical strength.
