Rafting excursions in Picos de Europa, from Arriondas

Work together to take on the rapids of this exhilarating rafting excursion in Picos de Europa National Park. Share the thrill with your family and friends as you dive into one of northern Spain’s top whitewater destinations.

Fueled by the energy of the Cantabrian Mountains, the rivers carve their way through dramatic terrain, offering unexpected twists and turns across breathtaking landscapes. This is an all-or-nothing adventure from source to sea.

Choose from three excursions: the Cares, Deva, or Sella River. The Cares, rated category III-IV, runs 54 km from León to the Cantabrian Sea, passing through Asturias and shadowed by the iconic Ruta del Cares trail, a path winding through caves, forests, lakes, and towering gorges.

The Deva River, a category II-III course, forms a natural border between Asturias and Cantabria. Stretching 64 km from Fuente Dé to the coast, it flows through steep ravines and gorge systems like La Hermida.

The Sella River, rated category III, begins at Fuente del Infierno and flows 66 km through towns such as Ponga, Amieva, and Ribadesella, offering a dynamic descent into the sea.

Pick the route that matches your skill level and set off on a two-hour rafting adventure in the heart of Picos de Europa.
