It is adequate for rafting as people of any age can enjoy completely by mixing adrenaline with landscape beauty. ”

At around 9:30 a.m. we meet the rest of the team in Taus, a town where rafting guides and kayakers deliver life jackets, helmets and paddles. They will be waiting for you enthusiastically to offer a day full of emotions through the water of this wonderful river.
