Fantastic adventures and incredible places inside Mother Earth passing through the streets reserved for a lucky few, caves and narrow ravines have been waiting for your arrival for millions of years.
THE SCREAMING DAIR – CANYONING SPELEOUS
YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN A PLACE LIKE THIS
A journey into the underground heart of Tuscany
Sometimes, to see beautiful things, we close our eyes and imagine, in a cave, just turn on the light…
Difficulty: Adventure
Descent duration: 2.5-3.5 hours
Activity duration: 3.5-4.5 hours
Approach march: 15 minutes
Return march: 10 minutes
HOW IS IT DONE?
Once the introductions have been made, we put on the wetsuit, harness and the rest of the equipment. Along the path in 15 minutes we will arrive at the entrance of the cave. Safety and activity briefing and off you go!
It is a single route, out and back. We will go up a small underground stream with small climbs and disclimbs. The temperature of the air and water fluctuates between 10 and 11 degrees centigrade.
At the highest point, reachable for us, you will be faced with a choice: swim across the terminal lake or not do this stretch of about 10 meters completely immersed in the water.
The light from your headlamp will give you colors and images that you will remember forever.
We return along the same route, which in some sections we will not recognise, almost as if it were a different route.

SPELEOLOGY
Speleology (from the Greek spèlaion=cave and logos=discourse) is the science that studies karst phenomena or natural caves and cavities, their genesis and their nature.
Beyond its purely scientific aspect, speleology attracts a notable number of people who practice it as a sporting discipline, as a philosophy or even just for simple and healthy curiosity and fun!
The exploration of the subsoil is certainly one of the oldest human activities, in fact in prehistory, caves were used by man as a shelter from anything that could represent a danger.
We are waiting for you to try and experience this adventure together from March to November
