Calanche of Piana

Located in the south of the village of Piana are the breathtaking islands known as Calanche of Piana. This island is a UNESCO World Heritage site. With rock cliffs and several clips of varying heights, the place looks straight out of a painting. Another unique thing here is the shapes of these red rocks.

The magnificent red colour of the cliffs, that contrasts with the deep blue of the ocean further adds to the beauty.  You can see them forming several figues like a dog’s head, a heart or a bishop, and so much more depending on how wild your imagination can be! While a boat ride is a great way to sit back and take in this out of the world beauty, there is nothing better than exploring it on foot. This place is an underrated gem for hiking. The cliffs rise up to 300 meteres. The terrain is rocky and slippery, making it challenging for all the adventure seekers out there. The place is also the natural habitat for a variety of flora and fauna. You can even be greeted by dolphins from the ocean. So, while in Cosrica, visit Calanche of Piana.
