A excursion through the A\u00f1isclo Canyon <\/strong>will put us right in the middle of one of the most breathtaking landscapes of the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park<\/a><\/strong>.

This formation and geographical feature, the A\u00f1isclo Canyon, can be visited by the whole family, as its route is easy to access and the difficulty of reaching it is very low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has a deep gorge generated firstly by glacial erosion and later by fluvial erosion by the river Bell\u00f3s. With a north-south orientation, its length is approximately 25 kilometres, its minimum altitude is 700 metres at Fuente de los Ba\u00f1os and its maximum altitude is 3,022 metres at Punta de las Olas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The glacial erosion -and later fluvial erosion- to which we have referred has created vertical walls from which we can find an endless number of waterfalls and slides, such as the one at Fuenblanca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is, in short, an unmissable sight for tourists. In addition, due to its humidity and altitude, the A\u00f1isclo Canyon has a beautiful and lush forest that is excellently preserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once there, be sure to visit the famous hermitage, where you can observe the vegetation; it also invites you to discover the beech forests and other plants that form part of the fauna and vegetation of this natural setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
