The Sil Canyon (in Galician: Canón do Sil) is a gorge excavated by the Sil river, in Galicia, near its junction with the Miño river, in the Ribeira Sacra area.1 This natural area includes the municipalities of Nogueira de Ramuín, Pantón, Parada de Sil and Sober, with an area of 5,961.49 hectares.2 The canyon, which is listed as SCI, 2 can be traveled by catamaran, 3 from which you can see spectacular reflections of the landscape in the water and also its unevenness, of more than 500 meters in some points, and with slopes of over 50 degrees, sometimes nearly vertical.
