Arribes del Duero Natural Park
Between Salamanca and Zamora, along the border with Portugal, emerges a unique natural treasure: the Arribes del Duero region. Here, the Douro River is transformed into a spectacle of deep canyons that stretch for almost a hundred kilometers, creating one of the most impressive landscapes of the Iberian Peninsula. Discover the wild beauty of its granite formations and the abundant wildlife that inhabits this privileged corner of nature.

Camino de Hierro
El Camino de Hierro invites you to explore a pedestrian path that runs along an old railway line, now closed to traffic and rehabilitated for the enjoyment of all. This route combines the majesty of 19th century civil engineering with breathtaking natural landscapes.
Embark on this adventure to experience the thrill of crossing bridges over vertiginous gorges, enter tunnels carved into the living rock and contemplate the immensity of landscapes that are part of a unique ecosystem of its kind.
Discover the Arribes with the
DUERO RIVER CRUISES
Let us enter an ecosystem where the hand of man has shaped the landscape with olive groves, almond trees, orange trees and vineyards. Along the Duero valley, we find a diverse community of birds, such as the Black Stork, the Golden Eagle, the Griffon Vulture, the Egyptian Vulture and the Bonelli’s Eagle, which choose this habitat for its amplitude and altitude. These places are full of magic and beauty.
