Description

Context The adventure water gymkhana takes place on the Sella River, a renowned watercourse in Asturias famed for its navigable waters and well-preserved natural landscape. This activity takes full advantage of the river’s diverse terrain to deliver a dynamic course featuring physical and aquatic challenges that require moderate fitness and basic swimming skills. The Sella River winds through a valley where the sound of flowing water blends with the earthy scent of moss and ferns.

The Experience Over approximately two hours, participants form teams to compete in challenges such as canoe races, controlled rope rappels over water, naval battles in canoes, and jumps from designated platforms. Guided by professional monitors, you’ll feel the texture of your neoprene suit and life jacket as you descend the rappel, and the cool rush of the river after each leap. The activity combines physical effort and strategic thinking in a real river environment, promoting teamwork and joyful energy.

For Whom This gymkhana is designed for groups of at least six people, aged 14 and older, with good physical fitness and swimming ability. Ideal for bachelor parties, corporate team-building events, or friend groups seeking a dynamic, water-based challenge. Not suitable for individuals with limited mobility or fear of water.

Local Setting The Sella River is a cherished natural space in Asturias, regularly used for sporting events and recreational activities that keep alive the region’s tradition of living in harmony with nature. Participants can enjoy the rich riverside flora and the peaceful atmosphere of this area while taking part in a shared, active experience.
