Excursion to the Alcantara Gorges (CT and ME)
Have you ever experienced a real river adventure? At the Alcantara Gorges among waterfalls and rapids an adrenaline trek awaits you!
The formation of the Alcantara riverbed dates back about 300,000 years. From Catania to Messina in this natural canyon the river water, and its movement within the lava stone, caused faster cooling. This has given rise to deep gorges, irregular fractures of various shapes and heights, which provide what is now a unique spectacle in Sicily.
