Write to usThis magnificent canyoning descent with its numerous waterfalls which made its reputation, includes very beautiful natural slides.
The route is dotted with jumps in beautiful natural pools and is a perfect introduction to rappels.
In summer, the stream is poorly fed so the canyon will be made in autumn or spring; pay attention to the flow during snowmelt.
It is also possible to make a water hike to descend to the Golo, Corsica's largest coastal river.
We remind you that canyoning is a whitewater sport. Swimming and good physical condition are essential.
Petra Leccia Canyon is located on the municipality of Castirla in Upper Corsica in the Niolo region.
