About this activity

Escape the city and discover the peaceful landscapes of the Albufera Natural Park on this express 3-hour experience from Valencia.

Just a short drive from the city, you’ll discover one of Spain’s most important wetlands and the landscape where Valencian paella was born. Travel with a local guide to the shores of the Albufera, stop at the Gola de Puchol for photos and enjoy a relaxing boat ride through the lagoon.
