Who it's for

In a poplar grove beside the Sella, in Arriondas, 9 minutes from Cangas de Onís, Cangas Aventura has had a tree adventure park since 2005: a route with obstacles of different heights and difficulties done in a harness, with no experience or special fitness needed. It is the afternoon plan with children once you have done the Sella or climbed up to Covadonga.

The route

Monkey bridges, zip lines, Tarzan lianas, flying trapezes and Tibetan bridges, among the trees on the riverbank. Everyone chooses the circuit according to their level and sets their own challenges, with the instructors watching over safety. It takes about two hours.

Slots, price and ages

The morning slot starts at 10:00. In the afternoon there are two: at 15:30 for adults without children and at 16:00 for adults with children, so that each group goes at its own pace. It costs €20 for ages 7 to 14 and €25 from age 15. The minimum age is 7 and the height 1.20 m. Under-15s must go with an adult who does the route at the same time; 16- and 17-year-olds, with signed permission from their parents. There are group discounts, free parking and a picnic area next door.

What to bring

Sports clothes and footwear. They recommend gloves, which are welcome on the zip lines and cables.

For the full day, the Sella canoe descent leaves from the same area of Arriondas, and the horse ride beside the Sella is from the same company.

Tips

  • Go at 16:00 with children It is the slot designed for families.
  • Bring gloves They are recommended for the cables and zip lines.
