For an off-the-beaten-path experience, the Calanchi is a must-visit. Walking among these formations feels like exploring a new land. Each step reveals different shapes and perspectives. The silence, broken only by the wind and your footsteps on ancient soil, enhances the sense of solitude and discovery.

Photography enthusiasts will find the Calanchi irresistible. The play of light and shadow on the clay formations creates spectacular effects. Sunset is especially magical when the sun’s golden hues paint the landscape in reds and oranges. This place, with its ancient, untouched beauty, provides a unique photographic experience.

For a more adventurous visit, consider exploring the Calanchi by bike or motorcycle. The rugged, unpaved paths are ideal for cycling and motorbiking.
