Ribeira Sacra + cruise through the Sil and Allariz Canyons

It is the most complete excursion of the Ribeira Sacra. It combines landscapes, history, art, gastronomy, viticulture and fun. We tour the most spectacular Ribeira Sacra, the one in the north of the province of Ourense, bordering the Sil River. We will visit one of the most spectacular towns in Galicia and Spain, a unique historic center that has been a television and film set. The guides are experts in the area because they belong to it. We use modern and equipped minibuses and buses. The selection of stops and times is designed so as not to spend too much time en route within the area. Several of the places we visit have a particular and unique charm, such as the spectacular and atypical monastery of San Pedro de Rocas. We facilitate the reservation of food by recommending the places that best suit what you request.

At the Santo Estevo pier we will take a catamaran that will take us along the Sil River, right on the border between the provinces of Lugo and Ourense.
