Ecological canoe descent of the Sella River

Enjoying Asturias' most popular river almost alone during the summer is a true privilege at the gateway to the Picos de Europa National Park. To do so, you must be in the water by 10 a.m.

Description

You'll set off downriver ahead of the other companies, paddling alone. Being the first in the morning to navigate the river allows us to enjoy it, explore it at our leisure, and savor its natural resources in an unforgettable four-hour experience of peaceful paddling.
The International Descent of the Sella River has been declared a Festival of International Interest, but here the objective is quite different: to enjoy its natural resources.
