Geological trekking together with the geologists Luca Foresi and Gianluca Cornamusini. Giannutri is completely made up of carbonate rocks from the Triassic period (200-250 Ma), pertaining to a single formation, namely the Cavernous Limestone, with a prevailing brecciated and fractured aspect, often accompanied by the presence of faults with very large caves that open in different sections of the coast. The route involves crossing the island from north to south, until you reach the Capel Rosso lighthouse, making three main stops. As soon as we disembark in Cala Maestra, we will travel a stretch along the coast of about 150 m towards the NE until we find ourselves in a small karst amphitheater which also houses a deposit rich in vertebrate bones. Back on the main road, continue south towards Faro. Halfway through the route we will descend to Cala Brigantina to observe the Cavernous Limestone and the effects on it of a fault that cuts the island with a NW-SE direction. Once we reach the lighthouse, in the locality of the Grottoni we will be able to observe the imposing actions of the karst process: large sinkholes, caves and arches of unexpected dimensions. Duration: 5 hours with short stop for packed lunch - Difficulty: medium. Free excursion upon reservation. Online reservations
