Itinerary
Meet your guide in Valencia
Board your transport at Torres de Serranos, Valencia. Your guide will introduce the day's route as you leave the city behind and head south toward the lush rice fields of Albufera Natural Park.
Traditional Valencian barraca
Step inside a historic barraca, a thatched-roof cottage once occupied by the local farmers and fishermen. Learn about the humble lifestyle of the people who shaped the history of the Albufera wetlands.
Electric boat lagoon cruise
Board a silent, zero-emission boat for a peaceful ride through the lagoon waters surrounded by reeds. This eco-friendly boat allows you to get close to the nesting birds and wildlife without disturbing their habitat.
Sunset at the lake
If you have chosen the afternoon departure, watch the sun dip below the horizon from the water. The lagoon acts as a mirror, reflecting vibrant oranges and purples for a spectacular finale before your return to Valencia.
Your tour finishes in Valencia
Return to your original pickup point after four hours of exploration. Depart with a deeper understanding of the park's biodiversity and the cultural heritage of Valencia’s rice lands.
