With Raid Amazones 2022, we are taking one step ahead to celebrate the strength and resilience of women in the backdrop of our home base, and hoping that it would inspire many others to follow in the trail and find their adventure in Sri Lanka. “

The 20th edition of this annual sporting event features over 550 French female athletes who will compete in areas surrounding the Sigiriya rock fortress.
