    The Canal Grande di Masua is a deep inlet along the coast between Masua and Buggerru. The site is of great scientific and scenic interest and is part of the geological heritage of the Geomineral Park of Sardinia. Its limestone walls reveal one of the oldest geological sequences in Italy, with fossils documenting the first life forms on the planet.

    The trail leading to the canyon is well-marked but requires caution in some exposed or potentially slippery sections.

      The most beautiful hiking trail in western Sardinia. I went this way in 1974 and I can remember it like it was yesterday
