Guided Boat Tour of the Leoneses Fjords on Riaño Reservoir

This guided boat tour on Riaño Reservoir offers a unique chance to explore a landscape shaped by mountains and water. For about an hour, you'll sail over the waters covering the old village of Riaño, while a guide shares the area's history and stories. The boat’s transparent roof lets you enjoy the views year-round, from limestone peaks to soaring eagles and vultures.

The tour ventures into the Anciles Valley, a village now underwater, and you may spot wildlife such as mountain goats, chamois, wild boar, and foxes. The scenery blends beech and oak forests with rocky formations stretching from Yordas Peak to Gilbo Peak, creating a natural setting perfect for reflection and learning.

Suitable for all ages including families and children, the tour requires no special skills or physical effort. During the trip, you’ll enjoy a tasting of typical Riaño Mountain products paired with drinks, adding a sensory element to the experience.

Unlike private boat rentals or rafting, this fixed-schedule guided tour focuses on interpreting the landscape and local history. There’s also an option to disembark for hiking, extending the adventure for those who want to explore on foot.

The tour lasts about an hour with seven daily departures, making it easy to fit into an active day in the Riaño Mountains.
