VIP - Rafting from Llavorsí to Collegats, 52 km with food

For lovers of true adventure, in this activity you will discover the thrills of white water combined with the views of the Collegats and Argenteria gorges, one of the most fascinating places in Pallars and the Noguera Pallaresa river.

It is said that this natural monument inspired Antoni Gaudí to build the Sagrada Família and observing it from the river is a unique experience.

The activity includes a magnificent traditional lunch in an authentic Pallaresa borda.

Back at the base, a good snack will be waiting for us to regain strength while we look at the photographs of our descent, also included in the activity.

The arrival time at the ROCROI activity center is the one indicated in your booking confirmation. At the center, you can use the parking area to leave your vehicle, and the first thing you should do is go to the reception desk. There, we will confirm your reservation and the receptionist will give you the necessary instructions before starting the activity.

Once everything is organized, you will be called to pick up your equipment and change in the changing rooms of our facilities. You will need to leave clothes and belongings in your car, and you can leave your car keys at reception for safekeeping.

Once you're wearing the neoprene gear, we will provide you with a helmet and life jacket, and we’ll travel in company vehicles to the embarkation point in Llavorsí.

There, you'll head to your assigned raft and meet your guide, who will explain how the descent will work.

The guide will show you how to position yourselves in the boat, how to paddle, and how to stay safe and comfortable during the descent.

The Llavorsí – Collegats stretch is the most authentic section of the Noguera Pallaresa, both for its length (full day) and its thrilling rapids and stunning landscapes.

The first section is 4 km of calm waters, except for “La Rentadora” rapid, which is the first class IV rapid, located right below our base.

After this warm-up, there's a quiet stretch until kilometer 5, where the longest rapids of the Noguera Pallaresa begin. “Quatre Llarg” is probably one of the longest and safest rapids on any commercial rafting river. For 3 km you’ll enjoy wave trains, narrows, and rollers that deliver pure whitewater excitement.

We’ll then reach the Gulleri Bridge, halfway through the route (8 km), and from there we’ll hit the most intense rapids, such as ‘La Sirga’, ‘The Island’, and ‘El Cuatro Español’, before arriving at the Rialp bridge (km 11).

We’ll portage the Sort dam and pass through the “Aigüerola Slalom Course”. You'll encounter rapids like “Les Estissores”, “El Pastís”, and “La Víbora”, a spectacular class V rapid full of adrenaline.

We'll stop halfway for a lunch break in the village of Baro, at an authentic Pyrenean mountain house converted into a restaurant, where you’ll enjoy traditional Pyrenean cuisine in a unique setting.

The Collegats gorge offers breathtaking views of its canyon and two of the streams that end there: the “Infern” and “Sant Pere” gorges. A dreamlike location surrounded by cliffs over 100 meters tall.

Once at Collegats, we’ll stop at the Figuereta spring to take a sip of its fresh water in great company. Our transport will be waiting to take you back to the ROCROI activity center, where you can change, take a shower, and relax on our bar’s terrace while looking at the photos from your descent and enjoying a snack that will be waiting for you—time to relax and relive the best moments of the adventure.
