Activity description

Discover Purcaraccia canyon, a natural and sporty aqualand in the heart of Aiguilles de Bavella massif in southern Corsica!

The Purcaraccia is one of the most famous canyons, but also the biggest aqualand of Corsica. Located in the Aiguilles de Bavella, on the east coast of Corsica, at the border between Haute-Corse and Corse-du-Sud, it offers a magnificent setting for canyoning. It is quickly accessible from the village of Solenzara, but also from Lecci with only thirty minutes to do by car.

With its limpid waters, its superb natural slides going from 2 to 15 meters and its abseiling descents to nearly 50 meters, the canyon of Purcaraccia is a rather sporting initiation to canyoning. A nice half-day will be necessary to realize the activity, with a descent of the canyon of about 3.5 hours.

With Natura Canyon, you will discover the history of Corsica and the Aiguilles de Bavella while walking through the superb Purcaraccia canyon in the heights of Solenzara!

Sehr anstrengender aber lohnender Aufstieg durch die Macchia. Zeitangaben sind sehr passend. Schuhe sollte man sich ausleihen es, es lohnt sich! Gute Neoprenanzüge werden gestellt.

Au cœur des cascades, c'est sublime. Randonnée d'une heure et demie pour aller tout en haut, assez sportive. Il faut suivre, sinon on perd le groupe. Descente des cascades dans les toboggans, sublime. 2 descentes en rappel de 50 mètres. On ne peut pas reculer, ni contourner. Rythme soutenu. Descente pour revenir d'environ 45 minutes. Patrick est gentil. Le parking pour se garer est payant . 5 euros.

Zum 1. Mal ein Canyoning gebucht und es war wirklich atemberaubend. Unser Guide (62 Jahre alt und fit wie eine Bergziege) hat unsere Gruppe vollkommen entspannt und sicher durch das schwierige Gelände geführt. Das Canyoning selber war wunderschön, atemberaubend und einmalig.

Superbe activité, on a pas fait le canyon de départ en raison de la mauvaise météo, mais les sensations étaient au rendez-vous!

The canyon tour was a fantastic experience. I recommend to bring hiking shoes that are not fully waterproof because you will wear them in the water and it will be difficult to dry afterwards if they are water proof. On the other hand do not attempt to do this tour in very light shoes or even sandals.
