Formerly La Guarida del Lobo. Same team, same river, new name.

Who we are

Come and enjoy the Valle del Tera.

We work where the river meets the protected woodland. We put canoes on the Tera, take people up trees, run treasure hunts for a whole school and head out on quads once the water drops. Being bored is not an option.

01

Activities

Canadian canoe routes on the river Tera, hiking along the Santibáñez riverbank, donkey walks, tree climbing, treasure hunts and an animal-track workshop.

The setting

The Valle del Tera gives us a setting that is hard to match. Both the river and the protected woodland are our daily workplace.

Groups & schools

Learning and fun, in that order and at the same time. There is no better way to learn than by enjoying yourself, and with the little ones it shows.

A day they'll remember more than the lesson.

Before you come

Frequently asked questions

No. Canadian canoes are very stable and we run through the basics before setting off. The Tera is calm along the stretches we paddle.

Yes. It's a family activity: children share a canoe with an adult. On the long route, under-16s pay a reduced price.

Clothes that can get wet, closed shoes that stay on your feet, a cap, sun cream and water. It's worth leaving a change of clothes in the car.

We always work by prior arrangement, but we answer the phone around the clock. If there's a slot free, we can sort it there and then.

Unless the river is in flood or there's a storm warning, we paddle anyway. If we have to call it off for safety, we move the date or refund you.
