We have enjoyed the descent of the river Nalón, the environment is very nice, full nature, without massing. We went to Sofia, a canoe specialist. Very attentive to the whole group, also very didactic at all times, explaining where to face each rapid or stretch of the river. We enjoyed it a lot. Suitable for all audiences.
Just great.

It is a very quiet and, very well organized descent. It runs along a very beautiful stretch of the Nalon, between the Caldas and Trubia. The best, the professionalism and, the good work of the managers. I loved his sense of protecting the flora and fauna and, how he solved the problems of certain people who, do things for fun and, without evil, but can cause an ecological disaster, where they pass. There should be more people like that!
An essential thing to do in Asturias

Impressive landscapes while you descend the Nalón by kayak. A wonderful experience. The treatment of our monitor Dani was charming and in general with all the Naturaller staff with whom we had contact. I haven't done the Sella descent but this is definitely something to do!!

🛶 We made the descent of the Nalon River in August. We booked the activity a couple of weeks in advance. We were 10 friends and in the group we went with 5 other people. 🏔 The descent is easy, anyone can do it and the guide explains what you have to do on each leg. The views are really cool. 💰 We pay 35e per person and it is about 2 hours of descent. We would definitely repeat it 😻

Very pleasant experience, suitable for all families. The kayaking down the chosen stretch of the Nalon, apart from easy, is very beautiful. Some section moved but easily solved thanks to the attention and good work of Naturaller, in this case Maria, the monitor who touched us. To remember.
Great afternoon coming down the ball.

Excellent activity. Small groups with a very well formed guide (in my case Maria) During the descent you enter unspoilt areas where you see rare fauna and flora. The stretch of river is very fun to have slides and rapids (initiation level) halfway we stop to enjoy a swim, food and photos. My son hallucinated all the time! I would repeat without a doubt! CONGRATULATIONS!

Maria, our guide and coach, has always helped us by giving us explanations of how to get around the difficulties we were encountering. Super fun tour. Note that it is our second kayaking experience and we have suffered nothing. Maria has been patient throughout the tour helping the stragglers and those who had any problems. Highly recommended
