Alcantara Gorges

Alcantara Gorges

On the territory of the geological park on the Alcantara River, you can find characteristic lava gorges with steep cliffs that stretch for about 400 m, several meters wide and up to 50 m high.

A truly unique natural wonder that you can enjoy in different ways, choosing from a variety of excursions, hiking trails and river sports, or just take a dip in the cool river water, which is especially important on hot summer days.

In 2010 Alcantara Gorges were recognized as a European Destination of Excellence (EDEN).
