Summary Canoeing
Would you like to travel the river by canoe and learn all the secrets of navigation? You will not experience great adrenaline rushes but we do assure you of a lot of fun and a great day outdoors.
It is not a descent through white water but you will travel through natural river beds with some surprises but without requiring any experience or having great skill with the use of the oars.
The places we have chosen to sail the canoe are:
- RÃo Pas: we will navigate the section that leads to the Mogro estuary on a calm ride. You will be able to explore beaches of great beauty such as Mogro and you will pass through picturesque towns such as Oruña. This is a good tour to do with all the members of your family as long as they know how to swim.
- Deva River: This route is the longest and we offer a meal halfway through the route on the banks of this very special river. For 14 km you will navigate around small rapids that will provide a little more fun on a very special day.
- Lake Acebo: This lake is located in the Cabárceno Park, a very special place where you can enjoy the canoes while different species of animals and birds appear around you. . There is no better place to start canoe navigation than here. We also do camps and excursions for schools or institutes so that they can enjoy nature while discovering a very special sport
The Cantabria Activa instructors are expert sailors so you will not have any safety problems with them. You can ask them any questions about the canoes and also about the places and landscapes around you so that they can discover all the secrets and stories.
Get in touch with us as soon as possible and cross Cantabria aboard one of our canoes.
Summary Rafting
Get ready to descend the river in an unparalleled way that will make you release all the stress accumulated during the week. At Cantabria Activa we have the best instructors and inflatable rafts that will allow you to navigate while experiencing adrenaline rushes and unparalleled emotions.
Rafting is a sport that people of all ages can do. If you want to come with the little ones, we can propose a section tailored to them so that they can cross rapids and currents in total safety without losing a bit of fun.
For the older ones we have routes and routes in the best Cantabrian and Asturian rivers:
- Saja River: in this river we have found a stretch of 14km ideal for groups with a beginner or medium level. We recommend descending the Saja River during the autumn and spring season due to the abundant rains and the melting of the highest peaks. Winter is also a good time to go rafting on this river where you will enjoy with your friends on an inflatable raft avoiding rapids and jumps.
- Deva River: for 4 hours you will cross the best rapids formed by the abundant rains that occur throughout the year in this area. Spring and autumn are incredible for descending the river in its wildest state in the 16 km stretch that you will navigate with your friends.
- Ebro River: this is the only route we recommend doing in the summer season. The moving waters of the river caused by the late thaw in this area make this season perfect for enjoying this sport while you cool off. In addition, so that you can fully immerse yourself in the activity, we have prepared a 19 kilometer route with a stop halfway through to have a drink and regain strength.
Rafting is a lot of fun but for it to be completely safe you need to know how to swim and move freely in the water. Contact us now if you have any questions and start enjoying the wildest waters in northern Spain.
Summary Paintball
Come play paintball with us and we will assure you great doses of fun and adrenaline rushes.
Paintball is a sport to play with friends or acquaintances and be able to recreate combats with them in which you will fight against each other. In teams, you will enjoy an activity as fun as it is addictive that once you try it you will want to repeat every weekend.
We know that paintball is a common sport in recent times and that is why we wanted to prepare something different so that you can enjoy and never forget the paintball game with us. We have two modalities:
- Paintball Outdoor: Paintball fields require obstacles in which to hide to prevent your rivals' paintballs from eliminating you. For this reason we have designed a course in which we combine natural obstacles from the Sierrallana Mountain and obstacles that we have designed following the guerrilla aesthetic. During the game we are going to propose original games so that not everything is point and shoot. We will also make you create strategies and confront your rivals using intelligence.
- Urban paintball: this modality is special to active Cantabria. We take paintball to different places in the Vega del Pas area such as abandoned buildings with more than one floor. It is a new way of doing this sport at home, enjoying it to the fullest in a totally different place than what you are used to.
Don't think twice and come to Torrelavega to play with us. Convince your group of friends and book this adrenaline-filled activity as soon as possible.
Summary Canyoning
Canyoning is one of the risky sports that you can do in the northern part of Spain. At Cantabria Activa we are constantly looking for new routes and ravines to descend so you can enjoy this experience.
This sport seems simple but it is necessary to have a certain technique to do it completely safely. It doesn't matter if you don't have a level since we can offer you initiation activities so that later you can enjoy the most extreme ravines with jumps and pools everywhere.
Our instructors have toured the Cantabrian mountains looking for the best ravines. Until now we do canyoning in:
- Barranco del Aján: this ravine is ideal for those with a beginner or intermediate level since it has two different sections that you can walk with or without ropes.
- Great Ravine of the Aján River: The La Vega de Pas area allows for great descents like the one we have organized in this ravine. This section is for participants with an average to high level who want to experience a full day of canyoning that will last around 8 or 10 hours. In this ravine you will enjoy the sport, becoming an expert without realizing it since we will do fun routes so that you have the best time possible.
- La Yera Ravine: Also in the Vega de Pas area we will find this very special ravine. We recommend it for mid-level athletes who want to test their downhill techniques on different routes. You can go canyoning with us in one section for 3 hours or for 7 hours including a meal near the ravine.
- Barranco del Navedo: in the town of La Hermida we will find this ravine perfectly passable for anyone who has no experience and wants to enjoy a day learning a new and very fun sport. The duration depends on each group but is usually around 3 hours in which you will enjoy everything that the ravine can offer you.
- Barranco de Sembrao: this ravine does not require any type of experience and anyone interested in this sport can cross it. Canyoning can be a lot of fun and this canyon is the best example of it. We will take you to San Sebastián de Garabandal and once there you will enjoy a 3-hour tour.
Don't think twice and come with us to descend the best ravines in Cantabria. We will leave you the jumpsuit, helmets and everything you need so you don't have any problems. You bring comfortable clothes and shoes and a lot of willingness to take an incredible tour.
Summary Hydrospeed
Hydrospeed is a very fun sport that will make adrenaline come out of every pore of your skin. It is an activity in which you will travel the river using only a small board on which you will lean to stay afloat and try to guide the course through the rapids and currents of the river.
At Cantabria Activa we have planned a route along a section of the Ebro River, a perfect place with a very high flow throughout the year full of waterfalls and rapids. For 8 km you will cross the river propelling yourself with fins to be able to move with greater agility. It is a fairly rough stretch in which an instructor will accompany you to ensure that you catch the waves and currents safely.
You must know how to swim to do hydrospeed since the entire route is done with half your body in the water. To prevent the cold waters of the Ebro River from making your descent more difficult, we will provide you with a neoprene suit that will facilitate your movements. We will also leave you the helmet, fins and the board or sled used in this sport.
You can come with your group of friends to spend a day full of fun or with your family as long as they meet the requirements to do the activity. In any case, contact us first if you need more information.
Summary Caving
The caving activities that we have organized for you in Cantabria Activa are the best way to discover the depths and all the secrets that are hidden underground.
The Cantabrian coast offers endless cavities and rocky areas that will delight all those who love underground formations. In Cantabria Activa we will take you to the Cueva del Linar, a cave full of stalactites, stalagmites and other formations. Furthermore, in this cave you will find human remains such as paintings in a room adapted so that you can visit it without any problem.
You can explore the cave at different levels depending on your experience and what you want to explore:
- Initiation level: this is the simplest and most prepared modality for all those who want to have a first contact with caving or simply be impressed by the formations that the water has made in the cave. It lasts an average of 2:30 hours in which you will only travel through flat areas without slopes or jumps.
- Intermediate level: this activity is for those who have done caving or a similar sport at some time. It is a tour of 3 hours or 3 and a half hours in which you will jump over holes and slopes using the rappelling technique that our instructors will teach you before starting the route.
- High level: you will explore the cave completely for approximately 4 hours. The descents with rappelling and ropes will be constant and you will enjoy strong emotions while you allow yourself to be soaked in the history that its ancient inhabitants have captured on its walls.
The cave that we propose is very close to the city of Torrelavega so we recommend this activity for those who want to complete a tourist day in the area enjoying and learning about history and nature.
Get in touch as soon as possible so we can look for availability and start exploring the cave with us.
Summary Hen and Stag Dos
Special celebrations are difficult to organize and require a lot of dedication to please everyone. Bachelor parties are also more difficult because everyone will expect to have a good time with the activities you prepare. At Cantabria Activa we want to give you a hand and give you all the facilities so that you don't have to worry about anything.
You can do sports of all kinds such as canyoning, climbing, hiking... although if you are an adventurous group and want to have a good time we recommend doing rafting. or paintball. Both sports are very fun to do in a group and you will enjoy them to the fullest. With the rafting descent you can challenge each other to see who finishes the route first and with paintball you will fight against each other until there is a winning team.
The different activities we have are carried out in very close places so we recommend spending more than one day in the area and combining several sports to enjoy a getaway full of strong emotions.
We will offer you different places to stay and we will find the transportation you prefer to move from one place to another.
Don't think twice and let us prepare a bachelor party adapted to your tastes and needs so that you never forget it.

The activity was fine. It starts with a 2 km walk. with a very cool landscape before starting in the water.
There are several jumps and rappel, being able to choose any case which one was preferred to do. The monitors were very nice.
It is simple, it can be done without having previous experience in Barranquismo
As he sticks, the activity says that it includes picnic and not in our case it was not so. -

The activity itself is very good, a pleasant experience. The previous organization and contact and information to the client could be improved by the company. -

Magnificent experience, largely thanks to the company's staff who, before the day of the activity, already contacted us to advise us.
I recommend hiring the full section and not the family section, since practically the fun would begin after that section and, thanks to the professionalism of the guides, it is not dangerous at all.Company's response:
Thank you very much for your visit and for your trust in our company. We like that our clients have had a good time, for us it is the best reward.
Thank you,
