Independent Kayaking on the Cares River

The Cares River stretches for 54 kilometers (33 miles) and is considered one of the most crystal-clear freshwater rivers in Asturias. For those looking to embrace the lush green scenery in a unique and enjoyable manner, this solo kayaking descent offers an ideal opportunity.

Setting off from Niserias, you'll have ample time to complete the 22-kilometer (13-mile) trek. The river's gentle current means you can simply float along, soaking in the experience without excessive effort.
