Fango Valley
Discover the Fango Valley, a biosphere reserve recognized by UNESCO in 1977. The Fango River, which you'll follow on this hike, is characterized by its exceptionally clear water, thanks to its low mineral content. Enjoy walking along its banks, dominated by the majestic Capu Tafunatu, which overlooks the entire valley.
From Ponte Vecchiu, follow the orange Mare e Monti trail to the hamlet of Tuvarelli. Along the way, you'll enjoy superb views of the Fango and its many natural pools, lined with reddish rocks.

REMARKS
In the Fango valley, the waters of the natural pools are slightly milder than those usually found elsewhere in Corsica. The low altitude, perhaps combined with a gentler slope or less shade, allows the river time to warm up slightly.
If you're looking for an ideal place to swim, the best spots are up to about halfway along the trail. After that, the trail gradually moves away from the riverbank.
