Not everything has been written about tourism yet, so at Alpine Challenge we propose a healthy and very fun way to do it. Rent one of our canoes and explore the best corners of Murcia, Valencia and Alicante throughout the Mediterranean.

We propose 3 routes, all equally special but with different characteristics so that no matter who you are, you don't miss out on accessing unique places through paddling.

• If adventure is your thing, our first option is to take a route of about 3-4 hours through Calpe and Altea. We will arrive at theCueva de las Palomas, which you can only reach through these boats. It is not too difficult, so if you want to come as a family, as long as the children are over 10 years old, it will be perfect.

• The Rock of Ifach is waiting for you to arrive with the canoe and discover its incredible cliffs. And that won't be all, because on the same route we will jump into the water to practice snorkeling with the material that we will provide you ourselves. If you want to be accompanied by a minor, minimum 7 years old, you will not have any impediment as long as they are accompanied by an adult at all times.

• Have you heard of kayak caving? Well, without a doubt, it is one of our star tours. Navigate through the Giant and Neptune caves to admire the geological jewels and galleries hidden within. As it is designed for pro adventurers (requires a high level), you can climb and even practice rappelling inside them. If you want to come accompanied by a minor, they must be at least 13 years old and always be under your responsibility.

The only thing we will ask of you is that you know how to swim; The rest is to enjoy and let yourself be guided in the canoes.

For all lovers of the sea and adventure, at Desafío Alpino we have prepared the best kayak routes that you will have through the Alicante, Murcia and Valencian Mediterranean. We will take you to unthinkable corners in our safe boats in which you will row yourself while we guide you.

Depending on your physical level and what you want to see, you can choose between the following options:

• We know that there are those like you, who are not satisfied with practicing sports and want everything that nature can offer them. If you are one of these, our kayak caving route is your thing. Discover everything that awaits the Neptune Cave and the Giant's Cave in Murcia, and once there, dare to climb and even rappel down their formations. A unique way to spend 4-5 hours enjoying the Mediterranean.

• Also very fun and perfect if you come with children, it is our departure to the Peñón de Ifach. It doesn't require too much effort and you can explore the most spectacular cliffs in the area, and then jump into the water and dive with the snorkeling equipment that we will have prepared for you.

• The Pigeon Cave is one of the most idyllic places we visited, since it can only be done through small boats of this type. Also with a medium-low difficulty, you will find this tour of Altea and Calpe fascinating.

If you want to come with minors there will be no problem, just ask us for the approximate ages for each of the routes. The most important thing, above all, is that you know how to swim fluently so that you don't avoid problems.

Sometimes we are not aware of the wonders that the sea hides beyond what we usually see, that is why, at Alpine Challenge, we want you to discover everything that the Mediterranean has. to show us through as they pass through Alicante, Murcia or Valencia with our canoeing routes.

• The excursion we have planned to the Peñón de Ifach is incredible. We will take a circular tour to visit its beautiful cliffs and appreciate the life that resides there. In addition, we will have some time to jump into the water and with the snorkeling equipment that we will bring, anchor around the area.

• We have thought of the other alternative for the most adventurous. Just as the previous two were of low-medium difficulty, this route is medium-high, since we have combined canoeing and caving. In Portús, the Neputuno and the Giant caves are located with incredible formations inside that we can enjoy, even jumping from them by rappelling or climbing.

The only thing we ask as a requirement for all of them is that they know how to swim. The rest is to enjoy and let yourself be carried away by our guides who will take you through spectacular places.
