Itinerary

The Descent of the Sella in canoe or kayak (canoes), is among the star activities within the adventure sport in Asturias. Very well known thanks to the International Descent of the Sella, a sporting event that every first Saturday in August (after the 2nd of that month) brings together athletes from all over the world. The activity invites you to get on a Kayak or Canoe to, in a totally safe way, go down the river from our facilities to one of the arrival points that we have enabled. It takes place on the section of the river between Arriondas and Llovio (16 km) in Ribadesella - although we offer you the option of making shorter sections, which you can choose during the descent, such as the Toraño bridge (7 km), Llordón ( 11 km) and the already mentioned one of Llovio. From each of these points we will transport you in vehicles back to the starting point. Born in the Picos de Europa the Sella, this low section takes place in a dreamlike landscape between meadows and riverside vegetation with Atlantic-type trees and associated fauna, among which the most representative is salmon, but it is accompanied by a great number of birds, and mammals like the otter.
