The Acquapendente is the waterfall of the Apuane and deserves the little effort needed to get to its base. It is a little-known and little-frequented place in the reality of Upper Versilia that offers interesting villages and wonderful landscapes as well as all the possibilities for excursions in the Southern Apuane. To appreciate it, it must have rained in the previous days, otherwise you risk finding it dry.
The term Acquapendente is widespread throughout Italy with the meaning of waterfall.
Cuesta Acquapendente is a waterfall originating from the jump of a branch of the Deglio canal, a tributary of the Versilia canal in turn tributary of the Vezza river.
The water of the Deglio canal comes from an underground river (called the Vidal river) that passes under the Del Freo Refuge in Mosceta and is fed by the waters that penetrate the karst complex of Monte Corchia.

About 500m before the waterfall there is a junction up the slope that leads to a beautiful trail to the main hiking trails in the high mountains.

Beautiful waterfall with a beautiful way to get there with a fantastic view. Smaller waterfalls all around the big one. Just a dream. Have parked in a parking lot in Pruno. The village is really nice too.
