Activity itinerary

Gole Alcantara Botanical and Geological Park

The guided trekking crosses the River Park, a place of great naturalistic interest. During this pleasant walk among the lush vegetation, you will enjoy a visit from the top of the Alcantara river and from the various viewpoints located along the paths you can see views of extraordinary beauty. A unique spectacle will reveal itself in front of your eyes: dizzying rocky gorges up to 25 meters high divided in two by the icy Alcantara river, the Alcantara gorges represent an authentic masterpiece of nature. With the excursion to the Alcantara Gorges you can admire the amazing beauty of these deep gorges of volcanic origin. Their cliffs overlooking the river sprinkled with basaltic prisms, the bizarre symmetrical rock formations, which were formed as a result of the cooling of the incandescent lava in contact with the icy water and their majestic columnar basalts of millenary origin make up an enchanting natural canyon of extraordinary impact.
