The summit of Punta Vacca Morta, a little effort, with some steep passages, is the price to pay to appreciate the most beautiful viewpoint over the bay of Porto-Vecchio. The Alta Rocca massif, the Piscia di Gallu waterfall trail, a must-see site with an impressive waterfall at its peak in spring. The Aiguilles de Bavella, another emblematic example, rewards your efforts with magnificent scenery all along the way. Zonza and Quenza via the paths of the Alta Rocca, two authentic villages offering a refreshing break on a terrace. The Rondinara hike, if you just want to stretch your legs, this excursion is suitable for everyone, young and old, as the degree of difficulty is low. The Fautea tower, combining the pleasures of walking and swimming in a protected Natura 2000 site. The Cavu river, probably the best known, is very pleasant and refreshing, photogenic with its polished rocks, a real paradise .... Not to mention the Ospédale river and forest, the Oso river, the Solenzara river and many other photo opportunities, because as they say in Corsica, every turn is a new photo opportunity.
