If during your stay at Casa O Cruceiro de Aguiar<\/strong> you fancy a different, adrenaline-filled experience, rafting on the Deza River<\/strong> is one of the most exciting activities you can do in the region.<\/h6>\n\n

The Deza River flows through a spectacular landscape of Atlantic forests, granite canyons, and rapids, making it one of the best rivers in Galicia for white-water sports.<\/p>\n\n

The most common descent starts in Bascuas (Vila de Cruces)<\/strong> and ends near Ponte Ledesma<\/strong>, covering approximately 8 kilometers of river<\/strong> amidst rapids, currents, and calm stretches where you can enjoy the scenery.<\/p>\n\n

During the trip, you’ll be accompanied by a professional guide<\/strong>, who will steer the raft and teach you basic paddling techniques to safely navigate the rapids.<\/p>\n\n

What makes this experience special<\/h3>\n\n

Rafting on the Deza combines adventure and nature. As you descend the river, you’ll see: <\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • Oak, alder, and ash forests<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Large granite rocks sculpted by water<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Birds like herons or kingfishers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Sections of fast-flowing water and calmer stretches<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    It’s a unique way to discover the inland landscape of Galicia from a completely different perspective.<\/p>\n\n

    What the activity includes<\/h3>\n\n

    Local active tourism companies usually include:<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • Inflatable raft for 6-8 people<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Certified instructor<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Wetsuit<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Life jacket and helmet<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Return transport to the starting point<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Activity insurance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      Duration<\/h3>\n\n

      The complete experience usually lasts about 3 hours<\/strong>, including preparation, descent, and return.<\/p>\n\n

      When can it be done<\/h3>\n\n

      Rafting depends on the river’s flow, so it’s usually practiced between autumn and spring<\/strong>, when rainfall keeps the water level adequate.<\/p>\n\n

      A perfect activity for your stay<\/h3>\n\n

      From O Cruceiro de Aguiar<\/strong>, it takes less than 15 minutes to reach the starting point<\/strong>, making this experience a very easy excursion to organize during your stay.<\/p>\n\n

      If you’re interested in this activity, we’ll be happy to help you contact local active tourism companies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
