Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take from Santiago to the Ribeira Sacra?

The Sil Canyon is about 150 km away, just under 2 hours. That is why it is a full-day trip.

Is the price per person or per vehicle?

Per vehicle. From €490 for 1 to 4 people and from €535 for 5 to 8, for the usual full-day route. VAT and tolls included.

Can we take the catamaran on the Sil?

Yes. Catamarans leave from piers such as Santo Estevo or Doade, mainly from spring to autumn. Tickets are paid separately and best booked ahead; we help you fit it into the route.

Is it a good trip for wine lovers?

Yes, and since you are not driving you can taste without worrying. Ribeira Sacra wineries offer tours and tastings; book them in advance.
