We started this boiling hot day at the Pian di Boccio campsite in the heart of Umbria. We wanted to cool down and we were in the mood for adventure. We drove to Norcia along scenic roads and stunning little villages.
In the mood for an adventure on the water?
There, Daniel, the instructor from Rafting Umbria, explained everything to us. We then squeezed ourselves into wetsuits, a challenge in itself!
Fortunately, we had eaten ice cream; the temperature rose sharply. And then we all piled into the raft and into the cool water, paddling along powerfully with our oars on the wild water while laughing, there was plenty of laughter and a little panicking from time to time.
"Halfway along the route, we got stuck in a waterfall 3 metres high. But we still managed to free ourselves and carry on."
A terrific and exciting activity for the whole family
Halfway along the route, we got stuck in a waterfall 3 metres high. But we still managed to free ourselves and carry on. The route includes thrilling rapids, we spent a total of two hours in the turbulent and wonderfully refreshing water. We felt the cooling effect in our bodies long after.
Besides being a paradise in itself, the people who work here are kind, understanding and helpful. I had a bad crash with my bike and they helped me with everything, from hospital matters to keeping my belongings safe. I was visited in hospital and provided with much needed help that made my ordeal easier to deal with. Thank you for everything.
