The Cavu Valley is characterised by natural pools and large slabs of bleached granite with rounded shapes along its course.
The hike follows the river before climbing through the scrubland along a discreet path leading to a first viewpoint (401m) and then a second (509m), offering panoramic views over the Cavu and the mountainous cirque at the bottom of the valley dominated by Punta de Quercitello (1461m). To the east, Pinarello Bay beckons.

Departure from Zonza (Corse-du-Sud)
This hike starts in the same way as the one described under no. 4375623, from which I have taken the opening paragraphs, but returns via a different route, including a section of water hiking, and ends at the three pools, which avoids the need to go back and forth as on the original route we had chosen.
The Brèche du Carciara... and a little further
9.33 mi
+2,661 ft
-2,631 ft
6h 35
Very difficult
Departure from Zonza (Corse-du-Sud)
A hike towards the Brèche du Carciara, and a little further, amidst a landscape of rocky chaos and numerous magnificent waterfalls and crystal-clear pools! The final section requires climbing metal rungs, scaling a rope ladder and ascending with the aid of a cable (but without additional equipment), which may put some people off. Furthermore, many sections involve walking over rocks and can therefore be very tricky.
