A superb hike in the Bouches de Bonifacio Natural Park.
A refreshing walk along the coastline with a detour into the Étang de la Testarella wetland. It feels like walking through a landscaped garden filled with flowers in spring. A pleasant walk in any season. The return route offers a different viewpoint, preventing monotony.
Three and a half hours including stops for this walk, which is one of our favourites.
