The Sierra Gorda is a place full of experiences that will allow you to take any type of tour. A place that offers you gastronomic routes, days full of history and culture, landscapes to contemplate, handicrafts to admire and nature to enjoy.
But this region also holds adventure tourism for the most daring, for those who are not afraid to come into direct contact with nature and feel the adrenaline in their body. For a try, Arroyo Seco , which surrounded by rivers opens up as an excellent option to enjoy water activities for the whole family.
Sierra Río Qro, by the hand of Jorge Espinosa, its creator, is a company that has been offering kayak and tubing tours for five years. This tour takes place on one of the two rivers that join in the well-known Adjuntas, a must-see destination in Concá, here the Ayutla River, with cold and blue water, and Santa María, which arrives warm from Guanajuato and with an earthy color, converge. The latter has category one rapids areas ideal for practicing this sport even if you are a beginner.
Before you set off downstream, your guides will give you a lesson on the signs you will use along the way, how to use your kayak, how to brake, the best way to use your paddles and keep your balance, how to navigate the rapids areas and everything you need to know to enjoy the almost four-kilometer route with all the safety you and your family deserve.
The kayak tour can be done from the age of 11 and in groups of up to fifteen people. But if you feel that balance is not your thing and you prefer to go more relaxed then you can do the tubing route, an activity that you do on top of one of a special pneumatic chamber for the water.
Whatever means you decide to travel this river, whether it is kayaking or tubing, we promise you that the route of almost four hours will surprise you with its junipers on the riverbank, the birds that you will be able to observe, the areas of pools where you will be able to rest and the rapids that will fill your body with pure adrenaline and will make you scream with excitement.
We recommend you book a day before and arrive on the day of your tour with a swimsuit, shorts, tennis shoes and a blouse or t-shirt that you can get wet. This activity is recommended at any time of the year, but the best landscapes, without a doubt, you will find in November and December due to the color of the water that the river gives, the strength of the rapids and the climate of these months.
