The short answer: between 2 and 5 hours, depending on the route you choose. For the practical answer, with the actual times for each section and key times, we&#039;ll give you the details here\u2014based on our daily experience descending it.<\/p>\n<p>The Sella canoe descent starts in <strong>Arriondas<\/strong> and head down the river towards Ribadesella. You can finish at three different points depending on your energy level and the time you have. These are the approximate times paddling at a leisurely pace, including stops for swimming.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cor-card\"><span class=\"cor-tag\">Short<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Arriondas \u2013 Triongo \u00b7 <span class=\"cor-km\">4 km \u00b7 2 h<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The &quot;mini-Sella&quot; is ideal for a first experience, going with small children, or when you have less time. It&#039;s enough to enjoy the river at a leisurely pace without it feeling too long.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cor-card\"><span class=\"cor-tag\">Recreational and family-friendly<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Arriondas \u2013 Nuevo Tora\u00f1o \u00b7 <span class=\"cor-km\">9 km \u00b7 3 h<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The recreational and family-friendly route is the most popular choice. Plenty of time to paddle, stop for lunch, take a swim, and enjoy the surroundings at your own pace. If you&#039;re unsure which route to choose, this is a safe bet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cor-card\"><span class=\"cor-tag\">For athletes<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Arriondas \u2013 Llovio \u00b7 <span class=\"cor-km\">17 km \u00b7 5 h<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The longer route, to Llovio (near Ribadesella). Designed for those who want to paddle harder and complete the classic section. It&#039;s best to start early to allow plenty of time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cor-warn\"><strong>Important for the long route (Llovio):<\/strong> It is essential to have gone through <strong>New Tora\u00f1o before 3:00 PM<\/strong>; Otherwise, that will be your final stop due to lack of time. In all cases, you must be <strong>out of the river before 5:30 pm<\/strong>, by regulations of the Cantabrian Hydrographic Confederation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please take into account the return time from Llovio:<\/strong> Llovio is about 17 km from Arriondas, and the return journey is via the main road. In peak season, with summer traffic, the return trip can take <strong>35-40 minutes<\/strong>. Also, when you finish you must <strong>Let us know when you&#039;ve arrived at the collection point<\/strong> So we can come and pick you up (we&#039;ll probably be on the road with other groups). Add this to your daily plan so you&#039;re not rushed.<\/div>\n<h2>What time is best to go out?<\/h2>\n<p>Departures are usually from 11:00 am. If you do the <strong>long (17 km)<\/strong>, Leave early to get through Nuevo Tora\u00f1o before 3:00 PM. If you do the <strong>medium or short<\/strong>, You have more flexibility, but going out in the morning is always better: less heat, a calmer river, and the whole afternoon ahead. Remember, it&#039;s not a race: the times include enjoying the journey and taking breaks.<\/p>\n<h2>Which route should I choose?<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#039;re traveling with young children or short on time, the one at <strong>Triongo (4 km)<\/strong>. For a full day out with the family, the one at <strong>New Tora\u00f1o (9 km)<\/strong> It&#039;s the best option. And if you enjoy paddling and want the full experience, go for it. <strong>Llovio (17 km)<\/strong>, Leaving early. The good thing is that you can make the final decision on the fly, right there on the river, depending on your energy levels and time. All the canoes are self-bailing, anti-tip models with padded seats, much more comfortable and safer than the classic ones.<br \/>\n<a class=\"cor-cta\" href=\"https:\/\/www.canoasoriente.com\/en\/\">Book your Sella descent<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00bfCu\u00e1nto se tarda en bajar el Sella?
