Pollino National Park By canoe or inflatable raft to descend the rivers? Yes, but only with a sea view, an untouched natural environment, mild climate all year round and, last but not least , local titbits to sample every step of the way. Rafting lovers who believe that this is only possible in the creeks of the Dolomites and in icy streams can set aside all prejudice and include the Pollino National Park in Calabria, the most extensive protected area in Italy, including full immersion into thrills, rapids and descents in its options.
Faithful companions on a journey through this area are juniper, poplar, alder, downy oak and, flying high, peregrine falcons. More difficult to spot among the waters are the spectacled salamander, river shrimp or the darting of a trout. Compared with the most precipitous part of the park (over 2000m above sea level between Calabria and Basilicata) this is gentler and more Mediterranean, dotted with prickly pear trees and the bright colours of the peony, its petals red or white with touches of crimson.
Terme Luigiane Marvellous sea, healthy thermal springs and small towns with traces of a past full of historical meaning: through our itinerary we will be able to explore a part of the Cosentino area, from the towns of Acquappesa and its surroundings up to the Sila plateau, where tourists can find a peaceful place for themselves, amid lake basins and unspoiled nature, forgetting, for a moment, the stress of the hectic city life. The flagship of this territory are the Luigiane Thermal Baths , extremely ancient wellness centre already mentioned by Plinius the Old (erudite Latin man who lived in the 1st century) and used for treatment purposes from the Middle Ages, whose sulphurous waters are ideal to treat a wide range of pathologies. Here, during the summer season, visitors can relax and also participate or see some interesting events, like " Modamare " in Cetraro, held in July, or the Ecology Award "Luigiano d'oro" taking place at the Luigiane Thermal Baths in September.
