On the approximately 3.6 km long and 400 meter deep descent you will see many cave entrances, mostly on the right side. These are relatively small grottos.

Rocky and gravelly descent and ascent through the gorge over more than 500 meters in altitude. Sturdy, suitable footwear is essential. To walk through the gorge, an entrance fee of €6 per person must be paid at the beginning of the path (or probably also possible via the official Heart of Sardinia app), the number of visitors is limited to 250 per day. The hike can be started until 2 p.m., and you must set off at the bottom of the gorge at 4 p.m. (at least that was the case in October 2024, the times may vary in summer because it is light longer then). Take enough water and snacks with you, there is no opportunity to buy anything down at the bay. Despite the conditions, which require a bit of planning, the hike and the visit to the bay are definitely worth it. There are great views to enjoy and the bay itself is beautiful.
