Overview

Visit one of the most magical and beautiful places in Galicia. You will get to know the imposing canyons of the Sil while sailing through the peaceful waters of the river. From one of the best viewpoints in the area you will see the canyons in all their splendour.

You will visit a special place, a very ancient monastery (6th century), located in a magical enclave of the Ribeira Sacra, San Pedro de Rocas. We will stop for lunch in the city of Ourense and then take a tour of its monumental area. You will see there its beautiful Cathedral, Roman Bridge and the Burgas (source of boiling waters!)
Our guides, experts in the area, will make you live a special day full of stories, landscapes and anecdotes of a different and exciting area. Come with us to experience the Ribeira Sacra!
