Trekking is a popular activity in this region since it enables tourists to discover many natural spectacles like the white sand dunes and the delta’s lagoons. While trekking, people will also be able to do birding to observe flamingos, egrets and other bird species that live in the area.
Boating is another favorite activity in the delta of Ebro. The unique and beautiful coastal landscapes and the channels and lagoons can keep tourists busy for hours.
In the delta, there are a few kayaking and canoeing routes that allow tourists to visit the sections between the mountains by water and to admire the fascinating cliffs while enjoying a fun water sport experience.
Canyoning is another activity that shouldn’t be missed! The activity requires a group of minimum 6 people, but canyoning is more fun when you can share the experience with friends and family so this shouldn’t be a problem. Prior canyoning experience is not necessary since the canyon is suited for beginners. However, the experience will be as fun as you can imagine since the activity includes jumping puddles, sliding down waterslides and traversing riverbeds.
