The huge rocks of red, orange, yellow and pink tones, paint a landscape that seems to be taken from a movie, ideal to enjoy an unforgettable sunset. Panoramic views and trails surrounded by nature make this site a special place in the world. During your visit you can ask at the information center about the treks (difficulty and time), and find out more about the park. If you want, you can also rent a bicycle to tour the park on two wheels. You can access the Grand Canyon on your own by car, on a tour, or by bus (which is the simplest way to visit, so you don't have to look for parking). I recommend that your visit be during the months of March, April and May , as there are not so many people and the weather allows you to enjoy the place 100%.
