FIRST DAY:
From Golfo Aranci we head south, in the hinterland of San Teodoro, to discover the Rio Pitrisconi, an open stream, dug into the granite, in a wild environment with about 6 verticals, max 28 m, and dips, even important ones (up to 11 m), never mandatory!
From the car: 5 minutes
Torrent: about 3 hours
Return to the car: 45 minutes
from here, after having refreshed ourselves, we head towards URZULEI, where we will dine and sleep at Maria, b&b Su Biancu.
(Everyone can find the most suitable accommodation for their needs.)
SECOND DAY - CODULA ORBISI:

THIRD AND LAST DAY:
Today is the day of the Grotta Donnini Jewel of karst erosion, an incredible place.
The entrance to the cave is through a 1 m diameter hole in the bed of Codula Orbisi with two descents in as many vertical galleries to arrive at a partially flooded gallery, which is spectacular! Then a 15 m abseil that leads us into the underground river. Here we will alternate flooded passages that we will overcome by swimming (even 100 meters in length) with passages in a dry environment. The exit is placed in the middle of the face, and the final waterfall is a 50 m, needless to say, beautiful!
Transfer: 45 minutes

after the Donini, we will return to Golfo Aranci to take the 21.00 ferry to Livorno
