On northeastern border of Sila Mounts, Torrente Acquaniti opens its way to sea Ionio through a thick and very compact
layer of pudding rock, made mostly of white, grey and pink granite debris. So canyon of Acquaniti has uncommon shapes and
colors, majestic and very very beautiful.
Another masterpiece enshrined by the mountains of Calabria.

What you find in the detailed description
I remember ...
The amazement and satisfaction for the canyon we were descending accompany to the fatigue getting ahead hour by hour. Canyon was long and it had an infinite chaos of boulders forcing us to a constant searching for the less hard points to downclimb. Continuous downclimbing and uncomfortable rappels were consuming our energies.
The day after was dedicated to rest!
