Our goal is to make it an unforgettable activity for the participant, both for calm families and for the most adventurous people, repeating that our motto is “Fun with Safety”. We will contemplate the spectacular landscape that the Kingdom of the Mallos offers us with its conglomerate giants. We will observe signs of otters and beavers under the flight of large birds of prey. We will have the option of baths and we will demonstrate our ability to get on the raft without help.

At the exit we can have a drink on our large terraces with views of the “Mallos de Riglos” while we remember the good times of the rafting descent. For many rafting with Río Escuela is the best thing of their family holidays.
