Cavagrande Del Cassibile - SR

July 29, 2018
Summer trekking is all about river walks. Today, we’ve chosen one of the most beautiful canyons in the Iblei: Cavagrande del Cassibile. The season is perfect for some water-trekking along the river of the same name. We chose this spot not only for the canyon's natural beauty but also for the history it has preserved unchanged over the centuries. We will have the chance to observe the traces of human presence and how nature has adapted to it. The wonderful, spectacular pools formed along the riverbed allow us to hike upstream, crossing these natural basins as we go.
Our route winds through this stunning landscape, eventually looping back to our starting point.
