Descent along Alberche River:
The choice of the Alberche River is a classical in the practise
of this activity. It is 30 years ago since it was descented for
the first time although the whole river bed couldn't be covered.
It rises in La Sierra de Gredos and gives name to the so-called
Valle del Alberche, located in the province of Avila and surrounded
by well-known towns such as Hoyocasero, Navaluenga and Burgohondo.
|
|
|
The three different stretches of its bed make it a river suitable
for beginners, not very experienced and skilled canoeists. You'll
get easily to Alto Alberche taking the N-403 Toledo-Avila road and
the detour to Navaluenga and from there, to the place chosen to
begin the descent. Close to the detour (km 101,400) you will find
our company, where you can ask for information and hire or buy all
the necessary equipment.
The most common stretch to be descented has a length of 15,750
kmts. and begins in Puente del Arco, in Burgohondo down to La Fabrica
de Luz Sierra in Navaluenga, at the beginning of Embalse del Burguillo.
When the depth of the dam is lower than 735 mts, we can descent
nearly 1 km more of brave waters as far as the so-called "Curva
de los Italianos" or Recula.
We offer to you the following courses: Canoeing training courses for adventure instructors- Swimming pool esquimotaje courses - Rodeo courses- Kayak - Surf - Beginners, instructors courses and FEP oficial diplomas. |
