Descripción
Valisoara Gorge is a narrow gorge that stretches for about 3 kilometers and is characterized by its impressive vertical limestone walls, which can reach heights of up to 250 meters. Great place to spot Águila Real, Avión Roquero and on a lucky day even the Eastern Golondrina Dáurica. Other species include Escribano Montesino, Mito Común, Cernícalo vulgar, Mirlo-acuático Europeo, Halcón Peregrino and Mosquitero Silbador.
