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 for a trip on these waters.

First, we approach the concrete wall of the Alcántara dam, inaugurated in the late 1960s to regulate the Tagus river's flow.

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 where materials for the dam were extracted and observe the wildlife in this area.

We'll sail through a natural environment known for its varied bird life. We'll use binoculars to identify as many birds as possible, with the possibility of spotting griffon vultures and black storks.

After an hour and a half of sailing, we will conclude the boat trip, returning to the departure pier.
