Palencia Activa

At Palencia Activa we put our experience of more than 15 years in programming leisure and adventure activities at your service.

We have formed our own team of instructors and monitors who will be in charge of guiding you in the practice of all disciplines, with levels adapted to age groups and different physical conditions. Among them are:

- Rafting: you will descend the riverbed in an inflatable boat with the help of an oar.

- Canyoning: be surprised by the natural obstacles you will find such as waterfalls and slides in the rock.

- Canoes: navigate freely or with an instructor on routes through rivers and reservoirs.

- Hydrospeed: challenge the current on an individual boat.

- Caving: get to know the caves from the inside.

- Hiking: the Picos de Europa natural park awaits you.

- Paintball: test your aim with paint bullets and challenge your opponents.

- Bungee jumping: jump from a bridge with the help of ropes and a safety harness.

- Multi-adventure camps: stays aimed at groups of young people and schoolchildren.

Palencia Activa will provide the necessary equipment for each sport.

Palencia Activa Canoas has prepared for you everything you need to relax sailing in calm waters with whoever you choose.

We propose an excursion with one of our instructors who will guide you and teach you the basic concepts of rowing but, if you prefer, you will have the opportunity to navigate freely. We will provide a two-seater canoe for adults, a children's canoe, life jacket and paddles.

The areas in which we work are:

- The Pisuerga River: for three or four hours we will descend its channel, starting from the town of Cervera. We will paddle 16 kilometers until we reach the Aguilar reservoir located in Salinas de Pisuerga. We will be attentive to the route in which we can observe capacity of wheat mills or dams.

- Crossing the Ruesga and Arbejal swamps: if you decide on it, you must reserve half a day or the full day. Completing it will take us between 5 and 8 hours, including the preparation of the material. We will navigate the entire swamp area being careful not to get close to the dam for safety reasons.

Palencia Activa Canoas will provide you with a picnic in a waterproof boat with which you can recharge your batteries throughout the trip.

With Palencia Activa Canyoning you can go into the mountains and explore the obstacles presented by a river bed.

Canyoning allows you to try different techniques within the same sport. In order to advance from the beginning of a stream you will have to rappel, slide down slides or jump between waterfalls. One of our specialized instructors will teach you the best way to face the road at all times.

We take care of providing you with neoprene suit and booties so that you can function comfortably in the sections in which you will be submerged in the water. You will also wear a helmet and a harness with which to attach yourself to the ropes when necessary. Don't forget to bring comfortable footwear suitable for this type of discipline.

We operate in:

- The Barranco del Cardaño: is our initiation proposal with a total duration of two hours and an approach of around 25 minutes that we will travel under Pico Murcia. It will give us the opportunity to rappel down several waterfalls and have fun on rock slides.

- El Barranco del Mazobre: takes its name from a large 25 meter high waterfall where we will end. It requires an approach of about an hour to its source on the northern slope of Espigüete and it will take three hours to descend.

This activity does not involve danger and will allow you to discover corners of nature that are difficult to access.

Palencia Activa invites you to discover the keys to rafting in the Palencia mountains.

With this discipline you will be able to face the river and demonstrate your skill. We will approach its source to descend its channel on an inflatable boat. To overcome natural obstacles and obstacles that come our way, we will have the help of shovels. You will have fun in the whitewater sections that will be a challenge for the group.

At Palencia Activa Rafting we will take care of the necessary equipment for the sport. We will provide you with a neoprene suit and booties for each component. It will be important that we wear safety elements such as a life jacket and helmet.

One of our guides will accompany you on any of the two routes that you can choose:

- The Pisuerga River: it lasts two hours in which we will travel a total of 10 kilometers. It is suitable for people with little experience due to its medium level of difficulty.

- The Ebro River: over two hours we will travel 8 kilometers designed for the bravest. It presents a medium and high difficulty in some sections.

This aquatic activity can be done at any time of the year.

At Palencia Activa Hidrospeed we offer the opportunity to experience the violence of the river with this nautical sport.

Hydrospeed is based on a small individual boat that requires all the skill of the participant to descend the river. With this discipline you can test yourself since you will only face white water.

We have planned several areas according to the levels of difficulty that each person is able to face:

- The Pisuerga River: we have chosen a section with a medium level that will not require too much experience. It will take you about two hours to finish a route that reaches 10 kilometers.

- The Ebro River: we recommend that you choose this option if you have started in this sport since the characteristics of the descent fit a level of difficulty between medium and high. The time to carry out the expedition will depend on the current flow, although it is estimated at two hours or kilometers.

Before starting your adventure we will equip you with a life jacket, booties and a neoprene suit.

Snowshoes are the favorite way we have in Palencia Activa to walk around the Alto Campoo ski resort during the winter. We organize outings in which both adults and children can participate, as long as they are accompanied by their parents and are at least 8 years old.

We meet at this point of the mountain in the interior of the peninsula to depart in groups of a minimum of 4 people. Previously we will have commented on your level of knowledge about this sport, if you have any because it is not essential. This way we will decide which of the available itineraries is the best for you. With this data we will choose between routes that range between 3 and 4 hours in duration.

We will advance following the path that we will have marked to take a look at an area of great natural beauty characterized by its ancient glaciers. It is an area with an important geological past that we can comment on to satisfy your curiosity.

We will be taking photographs along the way so that you don't even have to put down your poles carrying your own camera. We will also take care of bringing a small picnic to share while taking a break.
