CANYONING/TORRENTISMO POSTO LEONE gorge
Posto Leone Wild CANYONING
Canyoning in the Posto Leone Gorge is a unique Green Adventure. An enchanting place, a monumental and scenic natural environment nestled in a natural context of remarkable scenic beauty. The ideal setting to try the Canyoning experience for the first time, an exciting route designed for adventure and challenge lovers, for those who want to diversify and get to know Sicily.
CANYONING IN THE POSTO LEONE GORGE IS NOT JUST A SIMPLE EXCURSION
You will be welcomed by a small “Base Camp,” set up for the occasion, immersed in silence and greenery. Imposing rock cliffs stand majestically all around, protecting a hidden treasure, created by centuries of erosion from the Gallodoro stream’s waters.
Using the equipment provided for progression, we will move downhill in a unique place with “waterfalls” that will leave you in awe. We will cross a canyon and you will have the opportunity to discover and admire otherwise inaccessible environments. Our guides will lead you safely along an exciting route in contact with nature and the generating force of its waters.

ACTIVITIES
Your experience will be divided into four parts:
- MEETING IN THE ENVIRONMENT: After the briefing and the distribution of individual equipment, and once you are dressed, we will walk towards the entrance of the Canyon.
- CANYONING: You will cross adventurous downhill passages through the essential use of ropes for progression, short swimming sections, and some jumps will be the initial moments of this Canyoning trip. Immersed in a naturalistic context that will enchant you, you will have the opportunity to visit the Posto Leone Gorges in their entirety. Waiting for you at the end of this Canyon, you will find a wonderful natural pool, where you can relax before concluding the day.
- RETURN: We will return to the “Base Camp.” Once the equipment has been returned, amidst jokes and suggestions on what to see in the area, your Canyoning experience will conclude.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?
When for some reason (often environmental – too much water) it is not possible to carry out any river activities at the Alcantara Gorges, we at SicilyGreenAdventures offer you the opportunity to discover and visit other hidden “wonders.” We organize these outings both to allow you to spend a day outdoors in unique places far from mass tourism, and to give you the opportunity to live an unforgettable experience.
What is canyoning? Let’s clarify:
The practice of Canyoning mainly consists of the “descent” of a river or stream using ropes, harnesses, and other individual and group technical equipment. At points where the water has created waterfalls, the guide chooses the best technique to overcome the obstacle; it may be necessary to use the rope or simply take a dive or let yourself go along the natural slides along the way. In the large and now crowded web market, there are many “intermediaries” and many proposals for “river sports” that sell “water activities” passing them off as Canyoning. Before buying “fake Canyoning” online, make sure that the seller really knows what it is; WE AT SICILY GREEN ADVENTURE OFFER AND CARRY OUT CANYONING FIRST-HAND.
Is it necessary to know how to swim?
It is necessary/recommended to know how to swim. Most of the route takes place in shallow water.
Who can participate?
Canyoning at the Gallodoro Torrent Gorges (Posto Leone) is an experience suitable for teenagers and adults. Ideal for a sporty public and for all those who love to try new adventures, live well, and meet new people with whom to share this Green experience. Not suffering from vertigo can be a good starting point but is not essential, as long as you want to overcome your fears.
What happens in case of bad weather?
In case of bad weather, you will be constantly updated. If weather conditions do not allow the excursion to take place, it will be possible to postpone it. If you have already paid a deposit, this will be fully refunded without any penalty (excluding bank transaction costs).
