Arbaiun canyon, Limestone canyon in Pre-Pyrenees, Spain
The Arbaiun Canyon extends for 6 kilometers through Navarre's landscape, with vertical walls reaching heights of 400 meters along the Salazar River path.
The continuous water erosion of the Salazar River through the limestone formations of the Leyre massif has shaped this geological structure over millions of years.
The canyon holds status as a Nature Reserve and Special Protection Area for Birds, supporting a substantial population of 200 griffon vulture pairs.
The Iso Viewpoint provides the primary observation platform for the canyon, featuring educational panels and a concrete viewing area accessible from the NA-178 road.
The canyon walls contain multiple layers of sedimentary rock that reveal different geological periods through their distinct coloration and composition patterns.
