Description

El río alto-aragonés de Ésera presenta un cauce que es un placer navegar. Pero no estamos hablando de una navegación serena y relajante. Todo lo contrario. Se trata de una aventura inigualable, a los pies de los Pirineos, donde tendremos un descenso en rafting por su fuerte caudal durante 2 horas que requerirá de nosotros algo de experiencia y sobre todo, ganas de sentir emociones fuerte. Nuestra ruta de rafting tiene lugar en la localidad oscense de Campo, donde realizaremos el tramo completo de “Pirámides”. En nuestro descenso en rafting, nos espera un caudal con unas fuertes y enérgicas aguas bravas que nos harán rebotar constantemente contra el agua entre risas mientras se acelera nuestro pulso al liberar tales dosis de adrenalina. Este tramo es realmente emocionante y es que, no se llama el "Tramo de Pirámides" por cualquier razón. Nos estaremos adentrando con guía y todo el material, en una ruta de raft realmente desafiante, donde atravesaremos potentes rápidos que transcurren por estrechos y profundos canales que están repletos de piedras que tienen una forma piramidal y que por tanto, dan este nombre a este tramo del río Ésera. Disfruta de una ruta de rafting que servirá para poner tu valentía y habilidades a prueba y recorre estas aguas bravas en busca de la mejor aventura de todas.
