About this experience

A very fun adrenaline-pumping experience aboard an inflatable canoe, one of the most exciting activities in Umbria. Accompanied by our expert instructors, you'll discover and admire all the beauty of lake Piediluco. Paddling in its calm waters will help you acquire the right technique, stop in the small coves with glimpses of the town of Labro and the peaks of Terminillo, see the Castle and then reach the point where you can echo. Continuing to paddle you'll reach the wave where the Nera river flows into Piediluco lake to try to surf. Back from the excursion, we return to the meeting point and get ready for a delicious lunch in a local restaurant.
After lunch, you'll visit the Marmore Falls on your own. The Marmore Waterfalls, with its 165m divided into 3 jumps, is the 2nd highest artificial waterfalls in Europe. It is located in the Terni Valnerina area and in the Nera River Park, also called the Parco delle Acque, a protected area that finds its point of excellence in the waterfall.
