Body Rafting Gole Alcantara
You will be the protagonists of a climb up the waterfalls inside the Gorges canyon Alcantara (worldwide tourist site) of about 400 meters between rocks and dives, with the help of our skilled guides. The river trekking ascent will be followed from the waterfalls downhill, in body rafting mode.
An experience suitable for those who have adventurous spirit, desire for adrenaline and wants to test one's abilities. The Body Rafting excursion to the Alcantara Gorge takes place in a group and with guides rivers can thus follow all the participants and carry out an adventure in safety.
The Alcantara Gorges are up to 25 meters high and 2 meters wide at the narrowest points and 4-5 meters at the widest points. The natural canyon was dug over thousands of years by the water which progressively brought to light the lava body, with typical vertical cracks. Il fiume Alcantara scorre tra pietra lavica che forma il suo alveo caratteristico. Sul territorio di Motta Camastra in località Fondaco Motta si trova la gola più imponente e famosa dell’Alcantara, lunga più di 6 km e percorribile in modo agevole per i primi 3.
