The Rio Bargonasco, a stream located in Liguria, offers a not too long but rhythmic and fun descent in a pleasant place away from the crowds, even though it is close to a well-known and tourist area such as the Cinque Terre.
The route presents a succession of never too high waterfalls and natural pools. The constant presence of water allows for dives and slides and makes rope descents exciting. An ideal route for a first experience provided you are in good shape and not afraid of water.
Canyoning Rio Bargonasco
Practicable from April to October, the Rio Bargonasco is perfect for discovering canyoning in all its aspects, from rope descents to diving and tobogganing. The two-hour descent is a small concentrate of the sport.
The appointment is at the small car park at the entrance to the hamlet of Bargone in the municipality of Casarza Ligure in the province of Genoa. From here we drive up the valley for a kilometre until we reach the car park, where technical equipment will be distributed and worn and you will receive all the necessary information on safety and progression in the torrent before reaching the river bed in less than a minute and beginning the descent.
