Enjoy the thrilling and fun rafting descent in the Pyrenees on the Noguera Pallaresa River, and then continue the experience with more adrenaline on the river: hydrospeed.

The arrival time at the ROCROI activity center is the one indicated in your booking confirmation. Once at the center, you can use the parking facilities to park your vehicle, and the first thing you should do is check in at our reception. Once there, we will confirm your reservation, and the receptionist will provide you with the necessary instructions before starting the activity.

Once organized, you'll need to pick up your equipment and change in the changing rooms at our facilities. You should leave your clothes and belongings in your cars, and the car keys can be stored at the reception.

Once we have the wetsuits on, we'll give you the helmet and life jacket, and we'll move with the company vehicles to the embarkation point located in Llavorsí. Once there, you will be directed to the raft corresponding to you, and you will meet your guide, who will explain how the descent will work.

The guide will instruct you on how to position the raft, paddle, and position yourselves to ensure a comfortable and safe descent.

The Llavorsí - Rialp section is the stretch with the most rapids on the Noguera Pallaresa. The first section is 4 km very calm except for the "La Rentadora" rapid, which is the first class IV rapid and is located right in the river area in front of our facilities.

After this warm-up, there is a calm area until km 5 where the longest rapids of the Noguera Pallaresa begin. The "Quatre Llarg" is surely one of the longest and safest rapids on all commercial rafting rivers: for 3 km, you will enjoy wave trains, narrows, and whirlpools that will make you feel the thrill of whitewater.

We will then reach the Gulleri Bridge, which is the halfway point (km 8), and from here onwards, we will enjoy the most intense rapids, such as "La Sirga," "L'Illa," "El Quatre Espanyol." Then we will reach the Rialp bridge (km 11), from here to Rialp, we have 3 calm km with some waves that will take us to the end of our journey.

Once in Rialp, our transport will be waiting to pick you up and take you back to the ROCROI activity center where you can change, take a shower, and enjoy the terrace of our bar while watching the photos of your descent.

Next, at 12:30, we will continue with the 9 km hydro speed activity, we will dress again with the wetsuit, give you the helmet and life jacket, and we will proceed to listen to the guides' explanation at the same base.

The stretch starts at the same base of ROCROI; there the guides will give us a thorough explanation of both the equipment (hydro speed board, which literally translates to "water sled," and propulsion fins), and some initial concepts of turns, flips, rapids, and counter-currents.

The journey begins at the foot of the "La Rentadora" rapid. The first 3 km are of calm waters, which will allow us to practice turns, flips, and recoveries on-site. It is an individual activity where we will test our skill and physical fitness since this activity demands endurance in paddling. At all times, our experienced guides will lead us with their kayaks through the rapids following and interpreting the river's line.

From here on, the rapids begin and do not give us respite until we reach the Gulleri Bridge, where we can take a break if necessary. The next four kilometers offer us rapids like "La Sirga" and a rapid called the "Salt de l'Àngel" that will test our skill.

The activity ends at the point we call "l'Illa," as it is a place where the Noguera Pallaresa river forks and creates a small island between the two arms of the river.

Once there, our transport will be waiting to pick you up and take you back to the ROCROI activity center where you can change, take a shower, and enjoy the terrace of our bar while watching the photos of your descent.
