The Orrido di Botri is an imposing limestone gorge, characterized by very steep walls dug in depth, up to 200 meters high and in some stretches just a few meters away from each other.It therefore looks like a real karst canyon , a narrow and sunken valley, created thanks to the erosive action of the waters of the Pelago river on the limestone rocks of the Apennines. The stream is wedged between high rocky walls, forming a natural environment of rare suggestion and of considerable geological and naturalistic interest. The flora is particularly rich and interesting: it is possible to admire numerous botanical species that are rare elsewhere, such as the uncommon pinguicola (Pinguicola vulgaris), an insectivorous plant with purple flowers and viscous leaves suitable for capturing small insects on which it feeds.
