What To Expect
The most fun descent of the Paiva River is in Tubing-Rafting. Sitting or lying, our Tubing boys are prepared to be guided through among the Rapids of the Paiva River from May to October. We suggest the route between Aldeia da Paradinha and Areínho River Beach as the best compromise between challenge and safety. The descent is preceded by a Jeep Tour to the Aldeia da Paradinha, classified as Aldeia de Portugal, with a stop at some of the most iconic geosciences of the Paiva Valley, such as the Garaganta do Paiva. The scenery is amazing and you can also count on an interpretation of the fauna and flora that you will encounter during the 3 hours of activity. There will be no shortage of jumping into the water and group dynamics in small fasts.
