About
Le Gole dell’Alcantara is a dramatic canyon created by the Alcantara River, cutting deep basalt channels and towering 50‑metre walls that attract hikers, climbers and nature lovers alike. The park’s steep, winding paths reveal a unique landscape of cracked lava and verdant vegetation, earning it the European Destination of Excellence (EDEN) accolade in 2010. Visitors can explore the surrounding woodland, spot local wildlife, and learn about the geological history of the island through informative signage and guided tours.
