    Le Gole dell'Alcantara

    The Alcantara Gorges will be the first stop of the tour. It is a place where the 8000 year erosive process of the river flowing over the basalt rock has created a deep gorge, forming small beaches in the banks. A place of particular natural beauty. In this place you can also walk within the shallow waters of the river inside the gorge, being able to admire the sheer shaped walls. If you wish not to enter the river, then admire the majesty of these unique geological structures from outside.
