Gola di Gorropu, Italy Su Gorroppu is the deepest canyon in Italy and one of the deepest in Europe with one side as high as 500m (with a 300m cliff above visitors’ heads). Su Gorroppu canyon was formed over the millennia by the action of the Rio Flumineddu which, at the exit of the gorge where it has created some natural water ponds in the limestone, it is possible to find the rarest amphibian in Europe (Euproctus platycephalus). During dry months the Rio Flumineddu flows underground to emerge again when the rainfall becomes copious creating astonishing landscapes of waterfalls and pools. 60 minutes

It is really worth it! We took a tour with Campo Base Gorropu. We paid 25 EUR for a jeep drive down to the canyon. Then you take a 3km easy walk to the canyon. The canyon has 5 EUR entry. The canoyn is devided into 3 parts, the easiest / medium and hard one. The hard one is only for professional use. The other two are OK to climb but I really recommend enough water and hard shoes, as you have to climb over really slippery stones. When you go back from the canyon, you can visit little "pools", walk the 3km road back and the jeep gets you back to the top. A really nice experience !! See pics.

Ho percorso il sentiero verso il canyon due volte in questo mese, ed entrambe sono state un successo.
Il percorso parte dal passo Ghenna Silana e si estende per 4km con un dislivello di 700m, tutto in discesa. Prima di partire, consigliata una sosta al bar lì di fronte, il personale é molto gentile e i bagni sono pulitissimi.
Essendo parzialmente in ombra ed avendo scelto due giornate ventose, la camminata é stata fattibile, nonostante ci fosse MOLTO caldo. Le viste sono mozzafiato e il percorso é piuttosto semplice e ben segnato.
FONDAMENTALI scarpe da trekking (o scarpe sportive robuste) e parecchia acqua.
Dopo i 4km in discesa si raggiunge una piccola oasi con delle pozze di acqua fresca e una fonte dove riempire le bottiglie. I meno freddolosi possono tentarsi un bagno ghiacciato, quindi consigliabile portarsi il costume.
Dall'oasi si procede poi per un breve tratto (circa 20 minuti) un po' più faticoso del precedente che porta alla gola del canyon. La difficoltà aggiunta é data dal fatto che il terreno è pieno di massi giganti che si deve aggirare, e in alcuni punti é necessario arrampicarcisi sopra. Per i più avventurosi, la camminata/arrampicata tra i massi si addentra ulteriormente dentro la gola.
Tutto considerato, un'esperienza unica e assolutamente consigliata, che rifarò sicuramente.
