A challenge at 35°C, but definitely worth it. Sturdy footwear is essential; it's not comparable to regular hiking trails, and the flora and fauna are quite tall.

Nice route, but in the final part you have to cross a small path with very thick and messy vegetation.

A beautiful, not too complex hike. A farm with a restaurant is located nearby. But don't arrive too late! The kitchen was closed at 3:30 PM. The waterfalls and views from above are beautiful. You can swim in a pristine setting. We encountered at least three harmless snakes. A wonderful experience!

In this route there are 2 or 3 waterfalls but to get there the route is often sunny and not particularly beautiful. I recommend starting the loop backwards in order to find a small waterfall after 600 meters where you can swim.

Unfortunately, the route is very poorly maintained, in some sections it is really difficult to pass due to the very dense vegetation. Route done with two dogs, quite simple except in some points where there are slopes full of rocks to reach the waterfalls. For the most part the route is in the sun. A real shame about the neglect. Better to start from the Cerveteri entrance.
