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 a trip on these waters.

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

Next, 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 that supplied materials for the construction of the dam and observe the local wildlife.

We'll sail through a natural environment known for its varied bird life. We’ll use binoculars to spot as many birds as possible, including griffon vultures and black storks - keep your eyes peeled!

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