What you find in the detailed description
I remember ...
Since I was a child I have always been intrigued by that "alien" hill that appears at the southern end of the Gulf of Sibari, so different from the surroundings.
It took 50 years to have the opportunity and the ability to get to know it thoroughly. And one the beautiful surprises that I had wandering in the hills behind
Cariati is certainly the Varco gorge.
