This kayak descent down the Noguera Pallaresa River starts very close to our activity base located in Llavorsi and ends at La Moleta, 4.5 km away.
At the starting point, the guides will provide us with a thorough explanation of both the equipment (open kayak and paddle), and some initial concepts of turns, flips, rapids, and counter-currents.
The open kayak is the easiest kayak with which we can navigate a whitewater river; we only need to worry about steering it. Its great stability will allow us to paddle while enjoying the incredible landscape that surrounds us.
The first 2 km are calm waters, which will allow us to practice on-site all the recommendations and explanations from our guides. From there, we will encounter the rapid called "La Lavadora" that will test our skills. A class IV rapid.
After this appetizer, there comes a section of calm waters where we can enjoy the scenery and take a dip in the waters of the Noguera Pallaresa to end up in the Moleta area, named because formerly there was a small "moleta" at the mouth of the Romadriu river to produce electricity.
Once there, our transportation will be waiting to pick you up and take you back to the activity center where you can change, take a shower, and enjoy the terrace of our bar while watching the photos of your descent.
