Among the largest canyons in Europe

A few kilometers from Syracuse, in the heart of the Val di Noto, is the Natural Reserve of Cavagrande del Cassibile, a corner of paradise that conquers anyone who has the privilege to find out.

Cavagrande

This extraordinary place is characterized by one of the most suggestive and exciting scenery of Europe, the huge canyon, its crystal clear lakes and a wild nature that makes the reserve one of the most fascinating in Sicily.

The Cassibile River, which flows through the heart of this reserve, shaped the karst rock over the millennia, giving rise to a canyon 13 km long and over 320 meters deep.

Cavagrande is a place of great charm and biodiversity. The rich vegetation surrounding it houses a variety of unique species, while the ancient rock settlements, dating back to the Paleolithic, tell ancient stories of peoples who lived these lands in symbiosis with the wild nature that surrounded them.

A trip to Cavagrande del Cassibile is not only an immersion in the beauty of nature, but also a step back in time, to discover a cultural heritage that has its roots in the most distant centuries.
