In addition, you can choose between a peaceful circuit or a more challenging one with obstacles. Please note that this activity is only available for Xplor Day.
Rafting
In this experience you will paddle with your hands through subway rivers in a raft and discover the beauty of the park's natural caves. This activity is perfect for those who are looking for something quieter but equally exciting.
Like the previous activity, it has two circuits; a long one of 313 m and a short one of 212 m. You can venture alone or accompanied!
Amphibious vehicles
The amphibious vehicles will allow you to explore two circuits of 5 km each, where you will have to cross obstacles such as rocky paths, hanging bridges and flooded caverns. Believe us, without a doubt, this is one of the best things to do in Xplor.
