Full description

Delve into the depths of the earth with a speleo-canyoning route that will take you to the karstic cave of Fonte Buia in the Calvana mountains in the province of Prato.

You will travel along underground streams and be surrounded by impressive walls of stalactites and stalagmites.

An expert guide will accompany you on this fascinating journey to the centre of the earth. It will be an evocative experience that will show you the darkest and most hidden side of nature!

What we will do

We will meet the guide in Vaiano, in the province of Prato, and in a 10-minute walk we will reach the starting point of our speleo-canyoning excursion. We will be provided with all thetechnical equipment and , before entering the cave, we will have a briefing on behaviour and safety rules.

The darkness of the Fonte Buia cave will engulf us and transport us into a fascinating and surreal dimension. With the help of frontal light we will progress between water and rock, encountering limestone formations and crystalline pools formed by the underground stream.

We will be surrounded by spectacular walls of stalactites and stalagmites and , following the sound of the water, we will reach splendid underground waterfalls, which we will easily cross with the help of a rope.

The route is mainly horizontal, also suitable as a first experience of caving-canyoning. The guide will always be at our side to give us assistance and support and reveal all the secrets of the depths of the earth.

The activity lasts a total of about 3 hours and ends with the return to the meeting point. It will take 1.5 to 2 hours to complete the route inside the cave, depending on the number and level of participants.
