This fascinating naturalistic oasis gathers wooded valleys, peculiar landscapes and impressive lava reliefs. The Gorges of the River Alcantara are the major beauties of the park. These deep rifts punctuating the surrounding lava stone, that were caused by terrible earthquakes, are home to fascinating canyons crossed by the water of the river. Not to be missed are the so-called Gurne too, that are 16 small circular lakes that slope down into the valley.
