Wooden footbridges that crossed the Mao river canyon, in the Ribeira Sacra. Halfway up is the viewpoint, with excellent views of the canyon and the waters of the river that run through the gorge.

Hiking

The walkway route from the Mao River to the Sil Canyon is one of the most beautiful areas to see in the Ribeira Sacra (and, in general, of everything there is to see in Ourense)
The total distance of the Mao walkways is 1.8 kilometers and the difference in level to be overcome (using stairs) is 41 meters.
