Argentino River Valley

One of the wildest landscapes of the Riviera dei Cedri: the Argentino Valley offers walks and hikes of different difficulty among gorges, woodland, springs, waterfalls and limestone walls.

The route

  1. Orsomarso / ingresso valle
  2. Fiume Argentino
  3. Giardino delle piante officinali
  4. Cascata della Ficara / settori interni secondo percorso

Before you go

  • The valley has trail signage and offers both relaxed walks and demanding hikes.
  • The local route follows the river toward the medicinal-plant garden, Ficara waterfall and, higher up, Frassaneto cave.
  • Choose the section according to ability, river level and daily conditions; a guide is preferable for the inner valley.

Useful sources and tracks

Trails, access, surfaces, vegetation and weather can change. Always check current sources before leaving; for EE-grade or poorly marked routes we recommend a local hiking guide.
