Gole del Lao, Papasidero

Calabria

The Lao cuts a green gorge through the western Pollino, famous for rafting but also walkable: a path from Papasidero — a village stacked under an overhang, with the Palaeolithic Grotta del Romito nearby — follows the water between cliffs hung with fig and oleander to quiet shingle bars.
