Hello, I was planning to run this canyon last year, and was told by people at the café near the exit that access to the canyon is forbidden and that rangers patrol and fine poeple using it. Does anyone know if this is still the case? Also @bina from your description is sounds like exit via the lake is prohibited by the land owner? Would be very greatful for any and all information! Thanks

From the car park, the forestry road at the entrance is to be followed until it turns into a path which can be followed until it crosses the purcaraccia and then ultimately until the canyon entry. The tour itself is beautiful and almost all drops are jumpable, some definitely require probing first due to underwater rocks. The exit follows A large boulder on Oro left side of the canyon about 80 below the last very long pool. **All access to this canyon as well as Polischelu and Purcaraccia is prohibited for anyone that is not a guide (there were police checking ids before the "easier" access to Purcaraccia. Furthermore the only approved parking for any of these 3 canyons is located at the bottom of the valley (very clear from the road) Entry to this car park is 5 euros for the day, and attendants will verify that you are either a card carrying guide or are booked on to a tour (the car park is also the start and end location for all commercial tours to these 2 canyons). Any parking outside of the allocated parking lot is apparently subject to substantial fines, and is well enforced.

A beautfiul canyon that is heavily used. The rigging is, as would be expected of such a well-used canyon, excellent. we left later than intended at arround 11, we met other guides, and their respective groups in the canyon, who were very friendly (inspite of our lack of french ability) and even pointed out that the first drop could be slid by downclimbing into a seated position about 2 m below the top. The tour is short and most drops can be either slid or jumped. All access to this canyon as well as Vacca and Purcaraccia is prohibited for anyone that is not a guide (there were police checking i.d.s before the "easier" access to Purcaraccia.

One of the most beautiful canyons I have had the luck to venture into, the access path is steep but in the whole well-marked up until the point at which it crosses the exit of the canyon. From here, the path becomes somewhat of a choose your own adventure, with many paths leading uphill some steeper and some more meandering, but they all seem to reach the same point, the crossing diretly above the 40m rapell at the latter end of the tour. After the crossing, the paths continue to meander up the orographic left side of the canyon until the entry to the canyon. The tour itself is comprised of a series of beautiful slides jumps and repels in an open washed granite setting, surely the finest the island has to offer. All access to this canyon as well as Vacca and Polischellu is prohibited for anyone that is not a guide, or, as I have read on some forums a member of a recognized canyoning organization (there were police checking IDs before the "easier" access to Purcaraccia (car park on the highest bend of the pass out of the valley).

The access, as mentioned below, is now through the ropes course by an obvious trail, the canyon is fantastically equipped and the water was warm, the parking, a few turns below the high ropes course has a good path leading to the exit, orographic right after C13 (see photo), the path is a steep rocky climb which would be easy to miss.
