Arches Canyon

Local name: Cañón de los Arcos

Arches Canyon

Arches Canyon is a narrow gorge carved by the Blanco River near Calomarde. The surrounding landscape is quiet and dramatic, with sheer walls forming natural “windows” and vaulted arches above the trail. The color palette ranges from ochre to deep red, enhanced by the greenery of vegetation. A modern walkway allows visitors to traverse the canyon safely over the riverbed. The site combines natural power with a sense of historical exploration, reminiscent of early 20th-century geological expeditions.
