River trekking
Make your way up a river, swimming, jumping and scrambling between waterfalls and pools.
River trekking (or “aquarando”) means making your way up or down a river through the island’s uplands, alternating walking, swimming, jumps into pools and passages through rocky corridors.
Rivers such as the Bras de la Plaine or some of the tributaries on the east side offer routes of varying difficulty, deep in volcanic gorges carpeted with tropical vegetation.
Why do it
Total immersion in the wild landscapes of the uplands, among cool water, black rocks and waterfalls — an activity halfway between hiking and water sports.
What to expect
A neoprene wetsuit is recommended. The water is cool. Moderate to sustained effort depending on the route.
Who it’s for
Good fitness recommended. You must be able to swim.
