BEFORE YOU GO

Plan your Kayak Rio Serrano visit

Choose the outing and its approach together

The source time is an activity allowance, not a current departure or a door-to-door promise. Confirm admission, transfer and equipment inclusions for your date.

Make the day workable

Choose this around a road-access stay or dedicated excursion day. It is not a stop on the saved W Trek walking sequence. [1]

Confirm your starting point

Use the location and exact operator meeting point when planning the approach. A place in the same curation group can be well outside the town or road corridor.
