Alagón + Alcántara Reservoir Boat Trip

At the time of your choice, we'll meet at the El Bañaero jetty on the José María Oriol reservoir, also known as the Alcántara reservoir. There we'll board a boat and begin our trip on these waters.

First, we'll approach the great concrete wall of the Alcántara dam, inaugurated at the end of the 1960s to regulate the flow of the Tagus river.

Then we'll leave the Alcántara reservoir to enjoy a boat trip on the river Alagón, the longest tributary of the Tagus. We'll see the quarry, from where the material for the dam was extracted, and explore the wildlife that inhabits this riverside area.

We'll sail through a natural environment known for its bird life. Binoculars will be used to spot as many birds as possible. With some luck, we might see griffon vultures and even black storks.

After an hour and a half of sailing, we will finish the boat trip arriving back at the departure pier.
