The "Fascinating Agriates" day tour proposed by All Road Emotion will offer you a total immersion in "the attic of Corsica", as rich in history as in vegetation. You will leave from Ile Rousse to discover an extraordinary site combining the Agriates desert scrub and beaches worthy of the Caribbean, a real little corner of paradise!
The Agriates desert is only desert in name, being filled with Mediterranean vegetation mixing holm oaks, olive trees and heathers.
The 13km of tracks will allow you to admire from your 4x4 the extraordinary viewpoints, the history of the site and its numerous small pebbled constructions (pagliaghju), as well as the fauna and flora typical of the Agriates desert (peregrine falcons, snakes, but also cows).
You will pass by the beautiful beaches of Lotu and Saleccia, protected natural areas which are real land and sea paradises: their fine white sand and clear turquoise waters invite you to bask and swim, so don't forget to bring your masks and snorkels! Those who wish to do so can also hike part of the customs path between the two beaches, which lasts about 1h15.
Come and live an original and unforgettable experience by discovering Corsica in its wild state, its fauna, its flora and its history, with the possibility of taking the wheel of All Road Emotion's 4x4!
