CANYONING CODULA FUILI
BOOK NOWCanyoning Codula Fuili
The Codula Fuili is a dry canyon located near the town of Cala Gonone, on the west coast of Sardinia. The canyoning descent of the Codula Fuili is 3 kilometres long and includes 4 abseils as high as 23 metres. The entire descent takes about 3 hours.
Starting from the mountains above the town we will enter the ancient riverbed, following its course through narrow gorges and down to the sea. At the end of the canyon, we will reach the tiny cove Cala Fuili, known for its beauty and for being the start of the trekking to Cala Luna.
We will enter an unfamiliar and silent part of Sardinia, where only birds of prey and tiny reptiles are at home. On walking the Codula Fuili we will witness the scars of past geological turmoil. Ancient rivers and volcanoes gave life to a continuous process of erosion and deposit, forming large plateaus and carving deep and narrow gorges.

Meeting point
Our meeting point is the end of the road that leads from Cala Gonone to the small beach of Cala Fuili.
Reaching the starting point by car
The total time with transfer to the starting point is about 5 hours.
Reaching the starting point on foot
For groups who prefer to walk, our adventure starts from the beach of Cala Fuili. From here we will take an ancient mule track built by charcoal burners that goes up the right orographic side of the canyon.
The path, very panoramic in the final part, also passes by some old Cuiles, the ancient sheepfolds built by shepherds who raised goats and pigs in these mountains. From the beach to the starting point of the canyon we will take about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
The total time walking to the starting point is about 7 hours.
How difficult is the canyon Codula Fulii?
The Codula Fuili is probably the easiest canyon in Sardinia.
We can reduce the approach by driving directly to the entrance of the canyon, descending it to the beach where cars are parked. The total distance will be just less than 3 kilometres.
Anyhow, being a mountain activity canyoning still requires being in good physical shape and able to walk on very uneven terrain. We will scramble on large boulders, use fixed ropes to descend hard or slippery passages and abseil on ropes.
It means that participants should be fit to sustain fatigue and have no anxiety about heights and abseiling.

- Harness
