Its landscapes and pleasant temperatures invite you to practice adventure activities such as canoeing, hiking or mountain biking.
Canoeing
Canoeing, perhaps, is the area's reference in terms of adventure sports, due to the spectacular and flowing rivers that cross Asturias to flow into the Cantabrian.
You can enjoy different options, here are some examples.
By canoe you can discover, for example, inaccessible places along the Navia River. In summer these excursions are routes in calm waters, while in winter they are its tributaries such as the Agüeira or the strong>Ibiasthose that interest us. They are paradise for the most experts in whitewater descents. These rivers are almost unknown, and there are still many more to open.
The problem is that canoeists with plastic boats in Asturias are few and far between. Except for the case of the people from Llanes, with the kayak surf, we only find the occasional group here and there, who are dedicated to making descents of rivers of high difficulty, where the Galician Massif ends and the Picos de Europa begin.
Other adventure sports
As for the practice of rafting, it was prohibited in Asturias for several years, until in 2010 it was allowed again to enjoy this exciting adventure sport strong>.
On the other hand, you have mountain routes in case one day you prefer to hang up the canoe, and decide on hiking. There are all levels and they can be done excursions at any time of the year.
The mountain bike is another option to get to know the area through forest tracks. So, even out of the water, adventure is guaranteed.
