River Adventure in the Alcantara Gorge
The Alcantara Gorge canyon represents one of the main naturalistic attractions of the Alcantara Valley: discovering it through an amazing excursion of Body Rafting and River Trekking is an intense and fun-filled experience guaranteed.
The Experience includes:
- Body Rafting, River Trekking and Canyoning Adventure at the Alcantara Gorges
- Equipment: helmet, wetsuit, shoes and buoyancy aid vest
- Free secure parking
- Free personal effects storage
- River guide
The adventure begins with a river trekking excursion to a section of river channeled through an impressive basalt gorge more than 30 meters high, which over the millennia due to the continuous erosion of the waters of the Alcantara River, has been shaped taking on unique forms that characterize the natural beauty of the canyon.
As the hike inside the canyon continues, the trail becomes more and more challenging, so a minimum of physical ability and adventurous spirit is expected in order to overcome the natural obstacles (waterfalls, rapids and rock walls) found within the Gorges.
One of the most sought-after destinations within the Alcantara Gorges is definitely the Venus Waterfall, where legend has it that the Goddess of Beauty Venus loved to spend her days relaxing and bathing.
After the ascent begins the descent that winds through long slides in the rock, small waterfalls and foaming river rapids. Body Rafting excursion to the Alcantara Gorges takes place in small groups so that the river guides have the opportunity to follow all participants and carry out a safe adventure.
The Activity will last about 2 hours.
