What to expect

Visit one of the most spectacular canyons in Europe and the most famous in Sardinia: the Gorropu Gorge! The guided path, through sections of primary forest of holms, oaks and strawberry bushes that survived the blows of the woodcutters in the last century, will be particularly suggestive and panoramic; you will walk among high rocky walls, Mediterranean forests, and intense scents that nature will offer you. Once in the canyon, you will reach large white boulders smoothed by years of water erosion, and you will stand between walls of 500 meters towering above you.

After the meeting with the guide, you will walk along a dirt road of about 4 km downhill until you get to Gorropu. The visit of the Canyon will be about 2 km and then return to the meeting place after about 4 km uphill. During the experience, in some parts of the path, you will walk in the bed of the Canyon among large rocky boulders.
