Adventurous Canyoning at Calcinara - Pantalica
August 21, 2022
Our ascent begins where the crystal-clear waters of the Calcinara stream flow into the Anapo river. The stream has an average depth of 90 cm, allowing for an aquatic trekking experience where, at times, you will need to be able to swim due to the presence of pools 2 to 3 meters deep. Small, easily surmountable waterfalls increase oxygenation, supporting extraordinary ecological indicators like the river crab and trout. The characteristic vegetation enriches this inimitable natural spectacle with scents and colors. The route offers an extra thrill when it allows us to enter the Galermi aqueduct.
