From Tortosa towards the Ebro Delta

As the kayak moves away from Tortosa, the landscape gradually changes. In this way, the urban surroundings give way to farmland, riverside vegetation and increasingly open spaces.

The river also becomes wider as it continues towards the Ebro Delta. Therefore, paddling along this stretch provides a close-up view of the relationship between the Ebro and the landscape that has developed around it.

Paddling through riverside woodland

Riverside woodland is one of the characteristic features of the landscape along much of the descent. The vegetation growing along the riverbanks creates a natural corridor beside the Ebro.

In addition, travelling by kayak provides a direct view of this environment from the water. The pace of the journey makes it easy to observe the riverscape while continuing downstream towards Amposta.

Arrival in Amposta

The route ends in Amposta, one of the main towns associated with the lower reaches of the Ebro. As you approach the town, the landscape becomes urban once again.

Finally, Amposta's riverfront and distinctive suspension bridge mark the end of a journey connecting the two cities by river.

Discovering the Ebro from the water

The activity is suitable for couples, families and groups. In addition, it can be enjoyed in single, double, triple or four-person kayaks.

A guide or instructor accompanies the activity and explains points of interest along the route. This way, kayaking is combined with discovering the landscape and natural environment of the River Ebro.
