Information
Duration
2 h
Season
May – September
Who it's for
For all audiences, with children in a double kayak

The Loriguilla reservoir lies upstream of Chulilla: it is the dam that was built by the workers who gave their name to the Pantaneros route. Serranía Aventura paddles it by kayak with a guide, on relaxed two-hour outings, from May to September. It also offers stand-up paddleboarding.

Where you paddle

It is still, clear water with no current. The guide adapts the route to the group and the day; the stops the company suggests are the Cinglos narrows, a cove or two from which to jump into the water and the Domeño waterfall. It is the way to see from below the landscape of walls and pine wood that the route shows from above.

With children

The company gives it as suitable for all audiences. It sets no minimum age but a weight of 10 kg, because it has no smaller life jackets. The kayaks are rigid and two-seaters; with children three can go in one, and if the group is an odd number someone paddles alone. There are six kayaks at most per guide. Minors need the signed consent of a parent or guardian.

Price and booking

The price does not appear until you choose a date and number of people in the calendar; in an open group it works out cheaper and a private group may have another. The kayak or paddleboard gift voucher costs €40. It includes guide, kayaks, life jackets, paddles, dry bag, civil liability and accident insurance, and photos or videos. The exact meeting point is sent about three days before.

Tips
