Anisclo Canyon

Wild Spain

It’s great to get a taste of wild Spain as you wander through the bowels of this impressive canyon, or swim in its turquoise waters. An astonishing world and a breathtaking panoramic view from the pass, where you can see the two walls closing in on themselves. Between them, the River Bellós reveals itself, lined with hiking trails accessible to all. The natural wealth of the site explains why it is part of the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park. The surrounding area is full of points of interest, including the Aso mill cave and the nearby villages of Puyarruego, Vio, Nerin and Fanlo.

A spectacular route

The canyon is entered via a narrow, winding road that plunges into a chaos of rock and hooked pine along the river.

One of the most spectacular routes in the Pyrenees.

Incredible

An incredible view

from the pass

From the pass, the view of the canyon fault and the summit of Mont Perdu is breathtaking.

This itinerary allows you to observe this karstic universe of walls that close in on themselves, forming narrow canyons and natural basins.

Hiking routes

Around the turquoise waters

From the San Urbez car park, there’s a lovely walk to the Ermita de San Urbez, nestling in the hollow of a cliff. There are small bridges to cross and green and turquoise waters to walk along: a sumptuous escapade on the agenda.

The circular hiking route Puente del río Bellós – Río Aso crosses several viewpoints before reaching the river Aso and its waterfalls. The Sercué route passes through the village of the same name, home to a Roman church.

A more demanding route takes you along the river to La Ripareta, with magnificent views along the way.

The Río Bellós runs through the canyon, forming astonishing natural pools of green and turquoise water. It’s a great place to take a dip and cool off in the heat of the Aragonese summer.
