Lao Rafting
About
Lao Rafting invites adventurers to experience the stunning landscapes of the Pollino National Park along the crystal‑clear Lao River. Guided rafting routes range from relaxed, family‑friendly sections to adrenaline‑pumping rapids, all under the protection of experienced local guides. Beyond the river, visitors can explore canyon walls that have earned UNESCO Geosito status, offering some of Europe’s most dramatic natural scenery. The adventure is complemented by the on‑site Lao River Camp, which provides camp accommodations, a restaurant serving local, zero‑kilometre produce, and relaxation areas that blend comfort with wilderness. The camp’s amenities include tent rentals, a fully equipped bar, shower facilities, and a communal area for sharing meals after a day of activities. Lao Rafting also offers the “Tra Acqua e Cielo” two‑day package, which combines guided rafting, cultural walks through nearby historic towns, a falconry experience, and an overnight stay in the camp. This all‑inclusive program delivers cooking, lodging, and a sense of community for groups and families. Whether you are a seasoned white‑water enthusiast or a nature‑loving family, Lao Rafting provides a safe, enriching, and memorable escape in the heart of southern Italy’s Pollino region.
