The Alcantara river park takes its name from the river that flows in its territory: The Alcantara river park takes its name from the river that flows in its territory: the Alcantara river, which is one of the most important in Sicily and originates from the Nebrodi mountains. From the meeting of water and fire, the seductive landscape comes to life made up of gorges, smooth walls, water jumps, smooth and square stone blocks.
The course of the river creates a natural itinerary of places of inestimable beauty; from the mouth to the source we find Giardini Naxos, Taormina, the Calatabiano valley, Gaggi, Graniti and Motta Camastra, a town of Arab origin from which it is possible to reach the famous “Alcantara Gorges” known throughout the world for the presence of prisms basaltic.
