Discover the unique Ribeira Sacra area along the banks of the Miño and Sil Rivers. Let its centuries-old vineyards and the charms of the Romanesque captivate you. Enjoy a catamaran ride down the Sil River, discover the Monastery of San Pedro de Rocas, and explore the city of Ourense.

Your journey begins in Santiago, with a stop in Ourense so more people can join in.

Board a catamaran and cruise through one of Spain’s most impressive natural landscapes. Admire the steep vineyard terraces and discover why this area is known for its “heroic viticulture.”

At the end of the ride, go to one of the viewpoints that surround the Ribeira Sacra to see the immensity of its landscape.

Next, stop at the Monastery of San Pedro de Rocas, one of Galicia’s oldest and most unique monasteries, partially carved into the mountain rock itself. Surrounded by forests and mystery, this hidden gem offers a fascinating glimpse into Galicia’s spiritual past.

Then, continue to Ourense, known as the thermal capital of Galicia. Enjoy free time for lunch and visit the historic centre. Stroll through its cobbled streets and find out why it is known as the city of bridges before returning to Santiago in the evening. For those staying in Ourense, the tour will end in As Burgas.

After a day filled with nature, history and unforgettable scenery, return comfortably to Santiago in the evening.

NOTE: in October we will visit the Monastery of Santo Estevo instead of the Monastery of San Pedro de Rocas.
