The Calanchi del Cannizzola, a treasure in the shadow of Etna

There is a hidden corner of Sicily, with a charm all to be discovered: the Calanchi del Cannizzola. Walk along the characteristic furrows of ochre earth to immerse yourself in the beauty of the Simeto river valley. Then, a walk along the watercourse to reach the “Big Bench” of Biancavilla, from which you can admire a spectacular panorama. Visit the ancient ruins of the Poira Castle in Poggio Cocola, to crown a journey through desert landscapes with a lunar atmosphere, where the wildest soul of the Etna territory merges with the thousand-year history of the island. An unmissable experience for nature lovers.
