To see interesting rock formations of Alcantara river you must get down to the riverbed and ahead inside the narrow gorge. The Alcantara Gorges are deep incisions in volcanic boulders and cliffs, as a result of the eruptions of Mount Etna volcano. They be situated a short distance from Taormina town, where the mountain of Mt. Etna has been literally split and is currently part of the course of a river.The water choruses over grey stone, now covered by dense flora climbing across the many crags and cracks in the rock. The less intrepid traveller can reach the gorge with a chairlift, but the more adventurous can descend to the gorge on foot, where the waterway could be taken for around one hundred fifty meters through mysterious shadowy rocky bends along the walls of the rock-face - Sicily, Italy
