Añisclo Canyon
Cañón de Añisclo
A deep, narrow canyon carved by the Bellós River, with emerald pools, stone bridges and a cliff-side monastery; wilder than Ordesa.
Añisclo Canyon was cut into limestone by the Bellós River. At its deepest it exceeds 1,000 metres, with emerald river pools, waterfalls and dense beech forest on the valley floor. The classic hike starts at San Urbez Bridge and follows the river upstream to La Ripareta or farther. A round trip takes 3–6 hours, so you can choose the length. The canyon road, HU-631, is narrow, runs one way in summer and has limited parking, so arrive early. It's about 40 minutes' drive from Torla (via Escalona) and can be combined with Aínsa on the same day.
