At Melgaço Whitewater , we are specialists in water sports in Portugal , and one of the most intense and exciting is rafting . We invite you to visit the Miño River as few people have done. You will descend through the rough waters of the river on a raft that you will share with a group of adventurers like you. We must warn you that it will be a well moved route, since these are not the rapids that we can find in the form of an attraction in any theme park. However, you should not worry if the oar fails to overcome the force of the water at some point, and no matter how many swings and sharp turns the boat suffers, you will have a feeling of security at all times and one of our rafting monitors, who will go with you in the boat during the descent, will guide you and teach you all the tricks.

We always underestimate the power and strength of nature, so don't think it will be a leisurely stroll. You will have to fight together against the powerful currents of water generated by the Miño river in some sections of its route. If your friends are as daring as you are and dare to live this experience with you, you will share a unique and unrepeatable memory thanks to rafting .

To enjoy the best form of the activity, we recommend that you bring comfortable and practical shoes that can get wet, since an intense and dripping trip awaits you aboard the raft!
