Night Hiking, Canyoning, or 'River SUP': Free Activities Offered by the City Council for Young People from Malaga

The City Council of Málaga has made available to young people from Málaga, aged between 18 and 35, sports leisure activities in different natural settings, and the best part is that they are completely free.

The activities will continue until September 13 and include some of the most requested from previous editions of the 'Youth and Nature' program, such as the via ferrata route, speleology, or canyoning, and some new activities have been added like meditation in a Buddhist temple during the night hiking activity, and river sup (paddleboarding down the Genil river). Each activity has 20 available spots, except for the E-bike route which has 12 spots.

Registrations open two weeks before they take place and each activity includes round-trip transportation from Málaga, relevant insurance, certified technicians and experts in each discipline, as well as all the necessary permits and sports and informational materials. Additionally, each participant will receive a t-shirt, a water bottle, a piece of fruit, and an energy bar.

All activities are enhanced with knowledge of the ethnography of the visited environment and the practice of techniques specific to the discipline, taught and supervised by specialists in each one.

Registrations can be made online on the Youth Area website, or in person at the Youth offices in the Youth Information Center located at La Caja Blanca (avenida Editor Ángel Caffarena, 8).
