Canyoning - The Beauty of Calcinara - SR

July 22, 2018
Connecting with nature becomes even more profound when you walk directly through a riverbed. The Anapo and the Calcinara are perfect spots for canyoning, ideal places to savor and experience the natural world. Today's journey will be a 360° trek: nature, history, culture, and finally, water trekking. All of this is possible because Pantalica is a "naturally" perfect setting for a true trekking experience. We will begin our day by visiting the main points of interest in this natural and archaeological site, with a mandatory stop at the Sella di Filiporto, before continuing toward the parking area. From there, we will start the trail that leads to the area known as “avuttigghiria”, then pass by the Galermi aqueduct to reach the Anapo. This is where our canyoning adventure begins, winding through the Anapo first and then the Calcinara; rivers that have shaped the topography of these marvelous places. We will experience nature by crossing corners of unique beauty that can only be fully appreciated through this type of excursion. We will conclude the hike by arriving beneath the bat cave (grotta dei pipistrelli). Finally, we will take a trail that leads us back to our starting point.
