    Tips

    Pogallo is an old lumberjack village set on a beautiful green terrace, exposed to the sun. The village is responsible for what is now called the great deforestation of the early 20th century.
    Although this set of buildings is still standing, few souls live there all year round. Indeed Pogallo is very isolated and accessible only on foot, by the mule path which goes into the canyon of the Pogallo river.

    Hikers take note: the Pogallo lawns are a wonderful picnic spot. You can also find a drinking water fountain which is also indicated by signs.
