Venture to discover the Sierra Gorda de Queretaro from a kayak. Learn to paddle in a river ideal for beginners. Explore, enjoy and cool off in the Santa Maria River.

 

EXPERIENCE:

We will start the activity on the banks of the Santa Maria River located in the Sierra Gorda of Queretaro, first we will tell you about the river; from where it is born to where it ends and its passage through the Sierra. Then we will give you a short kayaking lesson for beginners to be able to paddle the river correctly. We will practice a little before starting the descent. Now it’s time to paddle: 4.5 km of descent in an individual kayak where we will be able to see landscapes, flora and fauna of the region, while we flow in the calm of the river. During this journey there will also be several rapids where the river will bring out your adrenaline and emotions, the rapids are category 1, suitable for inexperienced people. Halfway through the trip we will stop and get out of our kayaks for a few minutes in a pool ideal for swimming, enjoying the river, and resting in the shade of the lush vegetation. Our tour ends at “Las Adjuntas” where the crystal clear Ayutla River joins the Santa Maria River, with this last spectacle ends our adventure.
