rafting is one of the great protagonists of the spring-summer season within the aquatic sports. Because? It's super fun, you release high doses of adrenaline, everyone can do it (you need to know how to swim), it takes you into nature and it also helps you beat the heat.
Of all the options you have to practice, Ven y Volveras offers you a great alternative for your days of free time. Even the Valencia C.F. players have practiced this activity, do you want to miss it?
Do you know what rafting wheel is?
It is a new version of classic rafting, but the adventurer, instead of going on a typical inflatable raft that can fit about 8 or 9 people, is an individual. In Come and Return they call this type of boat "donuts", because that is the shape of the raft.
Why was this variant devised? The company is located in Valencia, just below the Contreras Dam and bordered by the Cabriel River. The flow of the river will depend on the flow released by the dam, so rafting cannot always be done.
To practice rafting a depth of at least 20 cubic meters of water is necessary and in many cases, in the area of the river in which they are located, that amount is not possible. It can be between 7 and 10 cubic meters, so with that flow you cannot make the descent in a large boat.
What is wheel rafting?
A monitor will explain everything you need to know before starting the activity. This is a descent on a single pneumatic wheel with the help of an oar. First, the descent will take place through calm waters, so that you can discover the beauty of the landscapes and the tranquility that this entails.
Afterwards you will reach a dam of about 5 meters, which you will have to descend. It is very fun, since it is a water slide that will take you to waters with currents, more moving than those at the beginning. You will have to overcome different obstacles, such as wades or the waves that the capacity will produce.
The descent of the river lasts approximately an hour and a half and you will be able to visit the Hoces del Cabriel Natural Reserve with spectacular landscapes, between April and August (both included).
You will only need to bring a swimsuit, slippers and a towel and the rest of the material (wetsuit, boat, helmet, paddle and vest) will be taken care of Come and You Will Return.
