"description": "**Water levels**\n\nThe difference between [this reading](http://saih.chminosil.es/index.php?url=/datos/ficha/estacion:A024/area:HID) of the gauge at Cua river and [this one](http://saih.chminosil.es/index.php?url=/datos/ficha/estacion:A022/area:HID) is more or less the actual volume of Ancares. Around 5-6.5 cumecs of difference is optimal. There is an visual gauge under the put-in bridge. 0.6 there is ideal.\n\n**The run**\n\nThe river dives into a canyon suddenly. The first powerful rapid is in 500 meters after the start of the run. It is a double drop that needs some safety. After some rapids and narrow parts there is the first portage - a siphon that has to be portaged on the right. From here the progression becomes more complicated. Soon after there is the second portage formed by a huge stump. The portage is tricky and it includes swimming from the left bank to the right. You go on then on the right down to a 2-meter drop with a rock on the landing.\n\nThe run becomes easier then and most of it can be done without scouting. Just before the take out there is another portage. Walk it on the left.\n\n**Tip:** The river normally has enough water in winter. Due to the fact that it takes a long time to paddle the section and that the river doesn't need much water it is advised to do this trip in spring when the days are longer. It's better to choose a sunny day when the slippery rocks on the portages are dry.\n\nThe information is by Mario Alonso\n\n_The information is based on the book called \"Al sur del Pirineo\" by Fernando Alonso Gutierrez and Mario Calvo Bonacho under an agreement with the authors._\n\n_You can purchase the book_ [_here_](http://asturkayak.es/tienda/es/regalos/136-libro-al-sur-del-pirineo-.html)_. It's in Spanish._",

"description": "*Update 2018: Attention! This section can't be paddled to the take out anymore due to the dam works on Tamega! Find another take out before the confluence or just at the confluence. It's very dangerous to end up at the construction site due to the dynamite works*\n\n*Update 2019: Lake in the bottom part soon?*\n\nIt's one of the best runs in Portugal if not the best. A lot of powerfull rapids with pools in between with some bigvolume stuff at the end.\n\n**Water**\n\nThere should be 15-40 cumecs at the put in. The easy rapid just after the bridge should look like grade III+ and it should be passable with not much scratching. The river is runnable 3-7 days after a heavy rainfall. It would be runnable much longer if not a dam above with a derivation pipe. The water diverts to Tamega.\n\n**The run**\n\nIt starts with easy class III-IV. Then the river narrows and picks up its pace. After few class IV-V rapids you reach the crux. It's a big and steep 3-steps rapid. Be careful, there are some big syphons. Scout and portage if necessary on the left.\n\nAfter the crux there are numerous class IV-V powerfull rapids. Many of them are read and run but some require scouting.\n\nAt last you arrive the confluence with Tamega and then there are 3 big volume rapids with fairly easy lines. Scout from the right. Be very carefull when you see industrial works on the banks. They are building a dam and changing the river bed.\n\nAfter the last rapid there is around 10 minutes of flat water with artificial weirs. You can drive the dirt road on the right to reduce the amount of flat water.\n\n*Note: If you remember all the lines and don't have to portage anything the run is doable in 1 hour.*",

"description": "A run with some nice gorges, some flat water and some artificial drops.\n\n**Water**\n\nThere should be 5 or more cumecs at the put in. The take out is after the confluence with the same size river Covas, a lake and a dam that derivates some water so it's a bad place to judge the water level in this section. There is no upper limit to run this section but some places might become a bit harder with a lot of water.\n\nThe river doesn't drain fast and it stays with water for around 7-9 days after a heavy rainfall.\n\n**The run**\n\nScouting and portaging is always possible but sometimes not super easy.\n\nThe run starts from quite a long part of class II with a lot of vegetation on the banks.\n\nAfter the river narrows to a gorge you will soon find the hardest rapid of this section (class IV). Be careful at low flows here and don't forget to scout it.\n\nThere is quite a lot of flat water to start being bored but always something nice follows after the next corner. There are few gorges with nice rapids in them and some of the artificial weirs are not that bad (although the others are really anoying).\n\nOne of the weirs is a clean 3-4 meters drop perfecr for boofing, stomping and freewheling.\n\nAfter the confluence with Covas there is one small and easy canyon with twice more water but then you reach an artificial lake. After some flat water training have a look at the dam and probably run it at low flows if the towback behind it doesn't look bad. This dam derivates at least 5 cumecs.\n\nThere are just few hundred meters of easy slides with not much vertical drop from the dam to the take out bridge.\n\n**Access**\n\n_Alternative take out:_ If you don't want to paddle the lake, portage or run the dam and paddle the last few hundred meters you can take out at the confluence with Covas river. There is a steep dirt road coming to the bridge which is really bad for not a 4*4 car.\n\n_Mike Krutyansky, 2017_",
