Picos de Europa

Have you ever heard of Llanes? If not, then you have not heard of the most charming and lovely coastal town in Asturias, and the perfect spot for an unforgettable adventure holiday.

Located between Santander and Gijón, you will be attracted by a wide range of adventure activities options, including hiking, canyoning, kayaking, caving, SUP and biking.

Llanes has more than 30 idyllic beaches and dramatic cliffs where you will be delighted doing surfing or SUP. 

Undoubtedly, kayaking on the Deva River is a must for all visitors. A descent of the spectacular River Deva in sit-on-top tandem kayaks, enjoying the fantastic mountain scenery and exciting white water.

If you are keen on some extreme action, canyoning is definitely the most adrenaline-inducing activity. Jump, slide, swim, abseil and zipline through some of the most spectacular natural settings Picos de Europa has to offer. It is an awesome feeling, and no experience is required. You just need to be active and healthy and possess a spirit of adventure.

This trip takes us into the beautiful mountain scenery of Picos de Europa National Park and the Cantabrian coast. The tour explores the park with adventure activities in the wild landscapes of these undiscovered mountains and the magical Cantabrian coast.  

The Picos de Europa are just 40 minutes inland from the Cantabrian Sea, which gives them a uniqueness for the spectacular views and their sculptured peaks.   

This tour gives you all of that. The activities are one part of it. The cultural & environmental experiences are the others.
