Kayaking down the Genil River in Benameji, Cordoba

If you’ve already tried rafting and want something more technical and physically demanding, kayaking on the Genil is the next step. With rocks, whirlpools and strong currents, this stretch of the river offers a true test of balance, strength and focus. Luckily, you’ll never be alone, as your professional guide, certified and with over 20 years of experience in white-water sports, will be right there with you, with a ratio of 1 guide for every 4 participants for maximum safety.

The activity starts from the base in Benamejí, which has a private car park and full facilities. After gearing up and getting a safety briefing, you’ll launch into the Genil River and let the adventure begin. Expect to get soaked, work your muscles and finish the trip with a huge smile!
