Canoas del Tormes

In Canoas del Tormes we are in the Sierra de Gredos, exactly next to the river from which we have taken our name. Precisely we take this channel, we nourish ourselves with its good energy, we take advantage of various areas to practice different modalities at different levels, always related to water. For them we have no less than a hundred navigable kilometers.

In general, we have the advantage that it is a calm river with only some areas where the rapids are more marked. Thanks to that we can delimit sections for each level coinciding with the Alto Tormes, the middle and the lower.

Our team has 20 years of experience in the world of rafting that they will share with you, making your foray into this sport something simple and fun. They will be in charge of making you the proposals that best fit you.

- Baptism of the river: a short rafting section for a successful first contact, in which neither age nor knowledge matters.
- Descent of the river: it is time to really go down it and we can do it on rafts, where we will travel in a group, or in canoes.
- Canoe & kayak: with theoretical and practical classes corresponding to 5 levels of complexity.

At Canoas del Tormes we want to share with you another modality within rafting, by canoe. It differs in that the boats are smaller, for one or two individuals, and the boats are made of harder and more rigid material. Their small size, unstable design and the types of navigation depending on whether you choose kayak or canoe make them somewhat more complicated to handle but add fun to the tour.

We have developed several levels so that each future paddler can begin to get started or acquire more technical knowledge on the river. The levels will be chosen with the help of our instructors, who have more than 20 years of experience. There are 5 theoretical-practical levels, each lasting 3 hours. Each participant will have their own training so that each person can decide if they can continue advancing or have to stop further in some area of knowledge.
- Basic technique: to carry the light boat.
- Reading the river: to know how to interpret its waters and its degree of intensity.
- Esquimotaje: which will allow you to turn around inside the boat itself and without leaving the water.
- Rodeo and Security and self-rescue: with the aim that you are able to keep yourself safe.

At Canoas del Tormes, we use the season of the year and the level of the river to offer you our star activity, since we can do rafting when its waters become white.

It is a sport that will depend on the experience of the participants. We have two types of boats:

- Rafts: from 2 to 6 people. A monitor will guide and direct you throughout the entire route. The probability of falling is almost zero. On the other hand, in an individual kayak there is another monitor ensuring that everything is going well for greater safety.

- The canoes: directed by 2 or 3 people placed in a line on the boat, they are quite stable. Our monitors will monitor and control them from nearby kayaks in the same way as in the previous case. Depending on the level and experience and the decision of the monitors, they will be guided along one path or another.

Everything our instructors know about this discipline they have put into practice for two decades, so you will not find anyone better to discover the secrets to advance quickly in this sport.
