About Canyon de la Richiusa
Hidden in the granite mountains near Bocognano in the Corsican interior, the Canyon de la Richiusa is one of the island's classic canyoning descents — a narrow, sculpted gorge where a mountain stream has carved smooth grey rock into chutes, jumps and deep emerald pools. Accompanied by local guides, thrill-seekers slide down natural water slides, leap from ledges and swim through the cool, clear water in a landscape of overhanging cliffs and hanging greenery. For those who prefer to stay dry, short walks lead to viewpoints over the gorge and its pools. Refreshing and adventurous, framed by the pine-clad peaks of central Corsica, the Richiusa is a favourite summer outing for anyone seeking the island's wilder, watery side.
