Vista de la localidad de Tresviso, en Cantabria (España).
Se trata de adivinar el lugar de la fotografia.......
Tresviso  pertenece a la comarca de Liébana., en pleno Macizo Oriental de los Picos de Europa, con 16,2 kms2 de extensión, un solo núcleo urbano y a penas 60 habitantes.
Limita con Asturias por el norte y el oeste, y con Cillorigo y Peñarrubia por el sur y el este. Situado dentro del Parque Natural de los Picos de Europa y en la ladera del río Urbión –afluente de rio Deva, al que se une en el Desfiladero de la Hermida-, tiene agrestes paisajes y altos picos,  con un difícil acceso desde Cantabria, se accede al pueblo desde el Desfiladero de la Hermida, por Urdón, a través de un camino impresionantepara. 
Poder llegar con coche se necesita dar un rodeo, entrando desde Asturias, por Panes y Arenas de Cabrales –por este camino, su comunicación con los demás municipios de Liébana y con los  de la costa cántabra, ya resulta fácil.
Su historia va unida a la de Liébana y por restos megalíticos en sus altos, debió contar con poblamiento en su Prehistoria
En el Alto Medievo –a mediados del siglo IX-, se le nombra –por ventas- en el Cartulario de Santo Toribio de Liébana; y, siglos después, se refleja –en el mismo- sus formas de vida –dedicación al pastoreo y a la fabricación de quesos mezcla de leche de vaca, cabra y oveja, el rico queso picón
Por su pobreza y aislamiento, a penas guarda patrimonio arquitectónico. Tuvo, en el XVIII, una ermita, la de San Pedro, que fue sustituida, a principios del XX, por su actual parroquia –mayor y con ábside y torre. 
En lo civil, se destaca la popular y austera arquitectura de la casa montañesa, a base de piedra, madera y teja –de anchos tejados a dos bandas, hoy se ha mezclado con otras arquitecturas
