La Cascata del Giglietto

Giglietto Waterfall is a spectacular waterfall nestled in the hilly area of ​​Carfizzi, with an estimated drop of approximately 35-40 meters that plunges into a rocky gorge amidst a rugged landscape. The setting is that of a narrow valley, with vertical rock faces, Mediterranean scrub vegetation that adapts to the gorge conditions, and alternating bright views and deep shadows. From an experience perspective, the waterfall is an ideal stop for hikers and nature lovers: it requires some caution when approaching, but is rewarded with the view of the waterfall and the natural pool that forms at its base.
