The Añisclo canyon, or Bellós river canyon, is in the Huesca Pyrenees, south of the Monte Perdido massif, and runs in a straight line southwards for more than 10 kilometres, from the Circo de Añisclo to the confluence with the valley of the river Aso. It forms part of Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park. The Añisclo pass, which closes the cirque to the north, is at 2,500 metres.
It is karst shaping on limestone, with a glacial cirque at its head. There is mixed forest between 950 and 1,200 metres, and its endemics include Petrocoptis crassifolia and Pinguicula longifolia.
It is advisable to visit in late spring and summer, because of sudden flash floods. A narrow, green canyon, with huge walls and water always at the bottom.
