サルヴィテッレのおすすめツーリングルート

Pertosa is a small village in the Tanagro Valley, known for its connection to the nearby Pertosa-Auletta Caves. Its stone houses, quiet streets, and valley viewpoints lend it a welcoming, rural atmosphere. Strolling through the center, you'll discover internal courtyards, ancient fountains, and glimpses of the Alburni Mountains.

Auletta is a village overlooking the Tanagro Valley, characterized by a stone historic center, medieval alleys, and panoramic terraces overlooking the Alburni Mountains. Walking or cycling through its streets, you'll find ancient buildings, small squares, and the tranquil atmosphere of the Salerno hinterland.

The Pertosa-Auletta Caves, also known as the Angel Caves, are one of the most fascinating speleological complexes in Campania, famous for their navigable underground river: the only one in Italy and one of the few in Europe. The cave system extends for over three kilometers beneath the Alburni Mountains, through immense chambers, ancient concretions, and natural light effects.

I was fortunate enough to meet Francesco from the Pro Loco tourist office (find the number outside the church, or ask in town), who guided us for about an hour to discover this sacred cave. An unexpected and truly worthwhile experience with several surprises, absolutely worth it.
