The River Hiking
The River Hiking
Information in Spanish
If you enjoy hiking, water sports, swimming, cliff jumping… this is your trip!
We will “hike IN the river”.
The river will be “divided” into two parts:
The first part is not very difficult and is about 4 km.
The second part, a little bit more difficult, with approximately 2.5 km.
In the second part there will be abseiling and you will have to swim most of the time.
Level of the trek is medium high and Participants must know how to swim well and be physically strong.
We are going to walk into a river, normally water reaches our knees but sometimes we have to go through pools and we have to swim.
Participants must be physically well and it is recommended that you have hiking experience.

Why we recommend you to order your lunch there:
The staff will bring you the lunch on the halfway, so you don’t have to carry it in the water (your lunch might get wet).
The food is very good and cheap.
Lunch menu would be: 1 Bocadillo (sandwich) + 1 drink (beer/soda) + 1 fruit = 6 €
About the place: It is in the middle of nowhere, and about 100 kms away from Valencia.
Important: When we say ‘middle of nowhere’, we mean that there is no place to buy things, except from a small ecotourism restaurant. There is no phone network and no internet. Only the satellite/telephone connection works.

Some important points you should consider…
Suitable shoes: Take the right type of shoes (shoes that can go in the water and that you can walk comfortably in). Some people take two pairs: one sport shoe and another aquatic shoes (scarpines in Spanish). We personally recommend you sports shoes, those that can go in the water (can bet wet).
Water: Take a good amount of water. Even though we will be in the water, we will need fresh water to drink. It’s better to take about 2 litres of water.
Sunscreen: the sun is very intense, so take sunscreen and if it is waterproof, it’s better.
Towel and spare clothes: when we will be back to the initial point, we will change clothes so take extra pair of clothes with you.
Food: take some food with youffor the breaks and we recommend you to order your lunch there
