Location: Castellammare Del Golfo, Trapani, Sicily, Italy
The Lisciandrini forest, with its breathtaking gorge and the views of Mount Inici and the sea of Castellammare del Golfo, offers truly unique insights into nature. Passing through the silences of this green lung in the background of the stream that flows through the gorge and then flows into the bay of Guidaloca, into the sea of Scopello. But before finishing its "journey" through the countryside, this watercourse crosses the canyon at the foot of the Monte Inici massif, forming the so-called "black orgas", deep gorges between the rocky walls where sunlight barely reaches . Giving an evocative play of shadows and darkness. Hence the name “black orgies”. To reach the stream you have to follow the narrow path that from the Lisciandrini forest descends into the heart of the valley, entering an authentic naturalistic oasis, immersing yourself in the background of the watercourse that flows between the rocks, between small waterfalls and the pools where they form the “black orgies”. The descent into the canyon, decidedly exciting, is characterized by exceptional perspectives, with wonderful panoramas dominated by the Inici mountain.
