Cagliari Hiking at Sa Spendula Waterfalls from Chia

Take a beautiful hike along one of the most picturesque forest of Sardinia, visit the little town of Villacidro and enjoy "Sa Pichetada" the sardinian typical picnic.

In the central-southern part of Sardinia, deep inside the Medio Campidano area, a constantly spectacular sight is that of one of the highest waterfalls on the Island, in a natural environment of unparalleled beauty.

Itinerary

A sheet of water cuts through the rock and passes through a lush, scented forest. It is the image that nature has painted around Villacidro, in the Medio Campidano area, embedding it in one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Sardinia, to the point that Gabriele D'Annunzio sang its praises in a sonnet composed during one of his visits to the Island in 1882.
Sa Spendula, the name of the locality in which it is situated, means 'the cascade': it is the sudden fall of Rio Coxinas, which originates at Santu Miali (in the picturesque park of Monte Linas), in three consecutive water drops with a maximum 60-metre high altitude gap. The waters form three natural pools in the same number of fall areas and flow into a gorge of special natural value, dominated by a granitic aiguille, known as Campanas de Sisinni Conti.
In autumn and winter, you will be enchanted by its vigour, while during the summer you will be impressed by the evocative light in the evening and the inebriating cool that you will experience amidst the oleanders and holm oak woods.
