Canoeing down the Sella River is one of the most popular activities in Spain. Discover the beautiful Asturian landscapes between Cangas de Onís and Arriondas with this exciting activity.
Sella River Canoeing
After welcoming you at our Activity Centre in Las Rozas (Cangas de Onís), we'll give you a basic introduction and provide you with all the necessary equipment for your canoeing adventure down the Sella River. You'll have full use of our facilities with changing rooms, showers and toilets.
You can then go canoeing down the Sella River for as long as you want. What's more, children under 12 can enjoy a free mini-golf activity in our sports and leisure complex!
At the end of the activity, we'll take you back to the meeting point.

Depending on your physical condition and preference, you can choose one of the following routes, all of them starting from Las Rozas, in Cangas de Onis:
