Description :
This tour takes place within the Gauja National Park (Parques Gaujas Nacionālais).
Day 1 :
Receive clients at their location and we move to the Gauja National Park. This trip can last from 1:15 to 1:40 hours. The trail begins at the junction of the A2 and the Amata River. The trail runs through the forest and along steep river banks, and outcrops of dolomite and sandstone, offering beautiful views of the treetops and river bed.
The route has a length of 20 km and a duration of 4:00 to 4:30 hours. These time estimates are approximate because it depends on the speed at which you walk and the inclement weather. At the end of the tour we move to the camp where the tents are set up, the canoes will be prepared, etc… There will be personnel from our team in the camps who will carry out the auxiliary work.
Day 2 :
The next day, we will sail in canoes from Sietiņiezis to Cēsis, where we will set up camp.
Day 3 :
Visit to the town of Cēsis and the castle complex. After the excursion, return to the canoes and navigate down the river. In the afternoon we set up camp.
Day 4 :
We continue sailing down the river. Near the town of Līgatne you can visit a secret bunker from the Soviet era (if it is open to the public). In the afternoon the camp will be set up.
Day 5 :
We continue sailing until the tour ends in the city of Sigulda, where a visit to the Turaida Castle is planned.
Navigation distance and time depend on the speed of the river current and weather conditions. During the trip there will be rest stops. You can also visit different places of interest.
At the end of the trip we return to its initial location.
The next day transfer to the airport.
