Full description
Forget the rush, the traffic. .. And immerse yourself completely in nature.
Swap the asphalt for the water with a peaceful canoe route between Murillo and Santa Eulalia de Gállego. For 2 hours, you will lose yourself in an unspoilt environment full of vegetation where the gentle currents and fun games on the river will make you connect with the nature of Huesca in the most authentic way.
Grab your paddle and get ready for 8 km of disconnection.
What we will do
The appointment will be at our meeting point in Murillo de Gállego, where the team will meet us punctually to arrange the necessary documentation. There we will be given the complete equipment and we will receive the first instructions before getting equipped and boarding the adapted vehicle that will take us to the start of the adventure.
Before entering the water, we will have a technical briefing to learn the basics: how to sit down, the paddling technique and how to act after an involuntary dip. Once at the Murillo beach jetty, the guide will go over the safety guidelines so you can jump into the river with complete confidence.
The descent to Santa Eulalia beach follows a stretch where the road disappears from view and the vegetation fills everything. You'll feel the natural rhythm of the river, alternating calm areas with small, easy rapids that will add just the right amount of excitement to the day.
During the 2 hours of navigation, we will make stops to play, jump into the water and observe impressive points of the landscape such as the Mirador de los Buitres. The guide will supervise us at all times so that all we have to worry about is coordinating the paddle and enjoying ourselves.
As soon as we reach Santa Eulalia, the adapted vehicle will pick us up and take us back to the base, where we can have a shower and rest. The total duration of the experience is about 3 hours.
