On this water trekking route through the Alcantara Gorges, we will explore a protected natural area in the north-east of Sicily.

Tour Description

We will meet at the specified time at the adventure sports centre on carretera da Sciara s/n in Motta Camastra and start with a short drive in an off-roading vehicle to the gorges of the Alcantara River.

Upon arrival, we will undertake an exciting water trekking activity through the gorges, covering 700 meters to 1 kilometre (0.4 to 0.6 miles). Participants will observe volcanic rock walls up to 25 metres (82 ft) high, formed by cooling magma interacting with the water course, while walking along the river bed and viewing various geological formations.

During the hike, we will learn about the origin of these canyons and discover the flora and fauna of this unique ecosystem, known for its scenic landscapes.

The tour will conclude with our return to the starting point, where the off-roading vehicle will take us back to the meeting area. The total duration of this activity is 1 hour.

Included

  • Transport by off–roading vehicle
  • English–speaking guide
  • Admission to the Alcantara Gorges
  • Waterproof boots and overalls
