Rafting on the Gállego River in Murillo de Gállego

Context Rafting on the Gállego River takes place over an 8 km stretch between Carcavilla and Murillo de Gállego, in the Aragonese Pyrenees. This river offers moderate-level rapids (III–IV), combining technical skill with exhilarating adventure, set beneath the dramatic rock formations of the Mallos de Riglos—part of a protected natural landscape where fresh air carries the scents of pine and damp earth.

The experience After receiving your technical gear and a safety briefing, you’ll be transported to the starting point to board your raft. Over approximately 2.5 hours, you’ll paddle in teams, navigating rapids like 'El Embudo' and 'La S,' feeling the cold, clear water splashing against the raft while the powerful roar of the river echoes through the canyon. The descent ends at the riverbank beach in Murillo, where you can change and share your thoughts with fellow adventurers.

For whom This activity is suitable for young adults and adults aged 14 and over, with good physical fitness and swimming ability. Ideal for groups, couples, and families with teenagers seeking a safe, guided adventure sport. Not recommended for those with no prior experience in water environments or limited mobility.
