Cavagrande del Cassibile is a protected Natural Reserve in the province of Syracusa, located in the southeast corner of Sicily.

The reserve is known for having one of Europe’s biggest canyons, which is about 10 km long and 300 metres deep. The whole area is surrounded by green colours, ponds, natural pools, waterfalls, limestone steep walls, birds and tiny lizards.

If you like nature, panoramic views and trekking, this is the right place to go. The whole journey includes a beautiful road trip uphill (by car) until you reach 500 metres over sea level, then a medium-level footpath downhill until you reach the Cassible river with its natural pools/lakes.
