A still wild canyon, perfect for those seeking authentic emotions
The Rio Lerca stands out for its alternation between open stretches and spectacular sunken gorges. From the first waterfalls you have the option of choosing between rope descents and spectacular dives into clear water pools, making the experience customizable based on your level of preparation and desire to test yourself.
The natural pools, carved out over time by the stream, are perfect for diving. In the final section, narrow rock walls and exciting passages lead to an old dam, the arrival point of the descent.
How does the experience take place?
After meeting the guide and distributing the technical equipment (wetsuit, helmet, harness), we start with a panoramic walk of about 45 minutes. The first half hour is steep, but tackled calmly and in the cool of the morning.
Both for the approach and the length of the canyon it is not possible to carry out the activity in the afternoon after 12.00
Once you reach the beginning of the river, a complete briefing is carried out on safety, progression techniques and descent methods. Then the fun begins with slides, jumps, toboggans and rope descents, immersed in the magic of the Rio Lerca canyon
.
Nature, adrenaline and relaxation: the perfect mix
Despite its proximity to the city, while descending the Rio Lerca you have the feeling of being in a remote place, similar to certain wild corners of Corsica. The waters are clear and temperate, the rock offers good grip, and in various points it is possible to exit the stream in complete safety.
The transparency of the water and the aesthetics of the canyon make it one of the most fascinating in Liguria. Also perfect as an adventure stop on an itinerant journey between sea and mountains.
