Cuencaventura

Cuencaventura is the most adventurous proposal that you can find in the surroundings of the Serranía de Cuenca Natural Park since 1988. We use the excellent environment natural area composed of ravines, forests, fields and rivers like the Júcar to do very exciting adventure sports and always with the best experts in these activities and with the best material.

Our center is located in the municipality of Villalba de la Sierra, less than 1 hour from Cuenca.

Our proposal of activities includes a long list and is made up of:

• Canoeing on the Júcar River

• Canyoning through the Júcar canyons

• Ultralight flight

• Horse riding routes

• Quad rides

Each of the activities has explanations to fully understand what is being done and with the company of monitors and guides during the tour.

We have 4 large changing rooms in our facilities as well as hot water showers, 300 neoprene equipment, 50 seats in canoes, 18 300 cc quads, 7 Spanish-bred horses and 5 9-seater vans.

Water, land and air in Cuenca is our bet so that whatever your age you come to enjoy the adventure.

Using one of the best preserved royal ravines in the entire peninsula, that of Rodrigo Ardaz, we travel between paths of poplars, pines and poplars with powerful single-seater quads and two-seaterenjoying the fun generated by the jumping driving of these four-wheeled motorcycles.

Operating the quads is extremely simple, although it is true that we require being over 18 years old and having a B1 passenger car driving license.

The journeys will be quiet walks through the countryside or quick marches depending on what your body asks of you and how much control you have of the vehicle.

We will be able to handle any obstacle that comes our way, regardless of the appearance of trails, muddy or watery areas, steep slopes, etc.

We will have one expert guide for every 5 quads with the maximum number of participating quads being 15.

The quad route will last approximately 1 hour and a quarter.

We will see everything pass by our feet very quicklytraveling at 70 km/h aboard an ultralight. In 10-minute flights we will see cereal fields almost touching the tops of the poplars on the path of the Júcar River with the mountains of the Serranía de Cuenca very close to us.< /p>

The ultralight allows us a very comfortable takeoff since its engine propels us with force avoiding having to take a run.

One of our two pilots with extensive experience in aviation will make the flight with you carrying the ultralight from the back, dedicating yourself to contemplating everything that the heights have to offer.

Before landing, engine activity will cease, providing a few minutes of total tranquility and silence until we touch the ground of the landing strip.

We will give you the helmet and some clothing for the flight, especially during low temperatures.

We do canyoning or canyoning in the heart of the Serranía de Cuenca Natural Park, a compendium of steep areas of gorges, cliffs and mountains crossed by the Júcar River, where practicing this adventure sport is a groundbreaking experience.

Just 2 kilometers from the municipality of Villalba de la Sierra we set out on foot towards the head of the ravine along a very favorable path for 10 minutes. Several sections excavated in the rock take us into the landscape that we will see during the journey.

The descent of the ravine does not require the use of harnesses or ropes, we will simply jump in and let ourselves be carried away by the waterfalls, waterfalls, pools, rapids and other accidents in a highly aquatic tour.

The difficulty of the journey varies depending on your level, and you can do more or less complicated sections.

From the age of 7 you can come to the Júcar River Canyon to enjoy canyoning.

All the neoprene equipment will be given to you when you go to the ravine, including warm jackets in the coldest season.

With Cuencaventura we launch down the river mounted in canoes through the waters of the Júcar River on a 5 km journey of white water or along the Boquerón River in the Toba reservoir, with a calmer route.

By the Júcar River

The descent through the Júcar is 5 km and level II, that is, sections with gentle rapids, small waves and shallow river depth.

Before getting on the boat, the instructor will explain how the canoe works and what you will find downstream, teaching the various maneuvers to be performed.

The journey may include a short stop so you can take a good dip during the hottest season.

By the Boquerón River

We travel through the calm waters of this river around the La Toba reservoir in the Serranía de Cuenca Natural Park. We will navigate between magnificent and steep rock walls embedded in the nature of Cuenca.

This itinerary is more affordable and is ideal for getting started in canoeing.

All canoes are two-seater, impossible to submerge and self-emptying.

The neoprene suit in addition to the vest is included in the activity, although in summer the suit may be dispensable.

Cuencaventura presents you with a day in nature on the back of one of our horses in which we will travel through large forests full of avenues and pine forests, feeling the freshness of the river Júcar. For this we use the Cañada Real de Rodrigo Ardaz trail, one of the best preserved in all of Spain.

The routes last half a day, that is, from 3 to 3 and a half hours through the Cañada and the foothills of the Valdecabras mountain range. Routes sandwiched between these mountainous formations.

The speed of the walk will be decided by you, depending on your experience we will go more at a trot or a gallop.

To lose respect and fear when getting on the horse, which is always imposed, we practice before going out on the route.

Groups with a guide will be made up of amaximum of 7 people.

We use English saddles that are very comfortable and offer the best safety on the horse's back.
