RIU PITRISCONI – CLOSED!<\/span><\/h1>\n

Due to a lack of rainfalls in 2024, there is currently no running water<\/strong> and the pools of water are muddy and slippery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In addition, the very delicate ecosystem is now struggling to survive in the little water left. We strive to protect all the small amphibians<\/strong>, reptiles<\/strong> and insects<\/strong> that make this environment so special, and ask everyone to avoid entering the canyon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Fresh, panoramic and suitable for beginners. riu pitrisconi is an adventure you can’t miss out<\/h2>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The Canyon Riu Pitrisconi<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a0accessible to beginners<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0families<\/strong>\u00a0too (the minimum age is 8). No need for equipment or technical skills, our guides take care of all manoeuvres, supervising the entire group and guaranteeing.<\/p>\n

It is located near\u00a0San Teodoro<\/strong>, in the natural park of\u00a0Monte Nieddu<\/strong>, amongst granite hills and dense pine woods. The Riu Pitrisconi has a modest flow of water, even during the peak of summer, and the pools of emerald water are clear and deep enough to jump from various heights.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Riu Pitrisconi<\/strong>\u00a0is probably the\u00a0most beautiful canyon in Sardinia<\/strong>: immersed in a wild landscape shaped by curvy\u00a0granite<\/strong>\u00a0rocks and adorned with\u00a0flowery oleanders<\/strong>. While descending the\u00a0canyon<\/strong>\u00a0we will encounter many of its inhabitants, such as black, red and blue\u00a0dragonflies<\/strong>, tiny\u00a0tree frogs<\/b>\u00a0and innocuous\u00a0grass snakes<\/b>.<\/p>\n

From the first\u00a0<\/span>abseil<\/strong>, the itinerary never leaves the riverbed. We will\u00a0<\/span>abseil<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>to descend its waterfalls, or simply\u00a0<\/span>jump<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>into the pools or\u00a0<\/span>slide<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>down the slippy rocks. While the most adventurous participants can enjoy jumping, those who do not feel like risking can abseil with the aid of our guides, without any pressure.<\/p>\n
