Rio Bello.

Soon after departure you cross an old Roman bridge and arrive at the impressive Ermita De Santa Úrbez De Añisclo. Via a wide dirt road you follow the course of the Rio Bello. Once you have crossed the river, the path narrows and rises slightly. Along the way you can enjoy the crystal clear water and numerous waterfalls. You cross the bridge on the Canal de la Escaliella. Eventually you will arrive at a more clearing called Cumaz. This is a nice spot to take a break and enjoy the waterfall. The next goal is Selva Plana, the signs say that it will take you an hour, but in reality you have to count on a little more time. The path gets rougher and now rises steadily. After that rather tricky passage you arrive at the Selva Plana, an open and very beautiful place, where the views are spectacular. The Monte Perdido massif and other mountains around the Añisclo gorge are already beginning to appear. From here on, the next section has no more difficulties. The comfortable path goes through a very beautiful beech forest, which is really spectacular in autumn. There are several specimens of centuries-old beech trees and a few more waterfalls allow you to enjoy the end of the route, La Ripareta at an altitude of 1520 meters.
