Boat trip through the Alagón Valley in Cáceres

Time stands still when you sail through a natural paradise where water and rock tell millenary stories.

This private boat trip through the Alagón valley is a unique opportunity to discover a little explored place in the province of Cáceres. For 1.5 hours you will cross the impressive granite reliefs shaped by the river for centuries and you will be amazed by the fauna of this hidden corner of the Tagus International Natural Park.

An experience of genuine contact with nature, far from the rush and stress. Get on board and experience it!

What we will do

The meeting point is located very close to the ruins of the old Fuente del Huevo Spa. The skipper will meet us there 15 minutes before departure.

We will set sail from the area around the Caclavín bridge aboard the Masmenor, a llaüt-type boat, to travel along the Alagón Valley on a river route that can take us up or down the river. If we opt for the first option, we will sail to the imposing Canchos de Ramiro, crossing areas of special ornithological interest, home to herons, kites and eagles, and surrounded by spectacular canyons and gorges.

If we head downstream, we will enter the Extremadura pastureland, passing through the Canchal de la Rana, Los Infiernos and the Los Riscos waterfall until we reach Huerta Hidalgo. On this route we will enjoy the tranquillity of river beaches accessible only by boat and we will have the opportunity to see griffon vultures and black storks, among other inhabitants of the area.

During both trips, we will get close to the habitat of otters, wild boar and fallow deer. And to complete the experience, we will take a dip in the waters of the Alagón before recharging our batteries with drinks and a selection of local cured meats and cheeses with Protected Designation of Origin.

The activity will last 1.5 hours.
