Guardiaregia Canyon, Molise
Molise
The canyon of the Quirino river above Guardiaregia is one of Italy's least-known natural wonders — a 400 m deep gorge with ancient yew trees, rare ferns and griffon vulture nesting colonies. Molise is Italy's least-visited region; this canyon is perhaps its greatest natural treasure.
