If you are exploring Asturias, then you should head to Ribadesella and experience the descent of the Sella River. Amazing landscapes and lots of fun will complement the landscapes!

Looking to disconnect from the routine of daily life and take a break in the middle of nature surrounded by unique landscapes? The descent of the Sella River is the way to go! This canoeing descent is one of the most popular and rewarding experiences in adventure sports in Asturias!

The Sella River is born up in the mountains of the Picos de Europa National Park and flows towards the Bay of Biscay. Its waters with different levels of difficulty welcome families, couples, or any kind of groups! After a short brief, you'll get all the necessary equipment and you'll set off to an aquatic experience!

As you paddle down the Sella, you'll cross paths with wild ducks and salmon that have chosen the higher areas of the river as breeding grounds. Also, canoeing down this river is trip back in time, since the descent of the Sella dates back to Dionisio de la Huerta and a group of children who at the beginning of the 20th century began to sail with wooden boats until the civil war!

Today, this canoeing trip is world known thanks to the International Descent of the Sella River, a competition that year after year takes place there!. Montañas del Norte doesn't want you to miss the opportunity of descending the Sella!
