However, the section called La Lavadora will make the whole group laugh and scream while experiencing a level IV rapid on the Noguera Pallaresa.

- Some 11 kilometres await you if you opt for the section from Llavorsí to Rialp, one of the best known for having everything you would expect in this sport. Full of rapids such as the Quatre Llarg, one of the longest you will find in the area, La Sirga or El Cuatro Español, the most intense, this route is perfect for thrill-seekers who do not have much experience.

- We are increasing the kilometres to be rowed as your desire to discover the most adventurous face of rafting becomes greater. 20 km go from Llavorsí to Montardit. This section of the Noguera Pallaresa is the most central. It also has different rapids like the Les Estissores and incredible landscapes such as the one offered by the Campos de Sallom Aigüerola in Sort.

- If you have enough experience in the world of rafting, it is almost an obligation to crown yourself with one of the most impressive experiences in the area of Llavorsí. You will have to paddle for 52 km, sometimes against the current to overcome the most exciting rapids, to reach Collegats.

When you book your rafting session, the experts will make the appropriate recommendations for each type of route. In addition, you don't have to worry about the equipment. They will provide you with the complete equipment: wetsuit, helmet and, of course, the raft and paddles.

Bear in mind that you will inevitably get drenched and that falling into the water is a high possibility, but also a lot of fun. So if one does not know how to swim with total skill should not consider rafting, especially in this area of Pallars Sobirà, where the waters are rough.

As for the experience, although you should let us know in advance if you are a beginner or if you have a certain level before you start rafting, the instructor who accompanies you on the trip will give you the necessary safety and paddling tips.
