I remember ...

One of the most shocking aspects of canyoning is to realize that the harshest and wildest environments can be found next to very placid cultivated lands. Environments so different, I would say opposite, that exist in the same place.
The descent of the Fosso Piatello is a journey into a parallel dimension, profoundly different from what's around.
