Just a 10-minute drive from our Villa in Tuscany lies one of the region’s most spectacular natural wonders: Botro ai Buchi — a hidden canyon carved over centuries by the steady flow of water, offering a truly unique hiking experience among dramatic rock walls and breathtaking passages.

A Hike Between Nature and Adrenaline

This 6-kilometer trail, which takes about 3 hours to complete, winds through a wild, untouched landscape. During summer, when the stream is dry, the hike becomes easier and more enjoyable — with temperatures inside the gorge up to 10°C cooler than outside, making it a refreshing escape from the Tuscan heat.

Along the path, you’ll encounter deep rock cavities sculpted by centuries of erosion, creating a landscape that feels both mysterious and awe-inspiring. To help navigate the more challenging sections, the trail is equipped with metal rungs, chains, and ropes, turning the route into an exciting yet accessible adventure for those in good physical condition.

An Immersive Experience in Untamed Nature

Botro ai Buchi is the ideal excursion for those seeking the wildest and most intriguing side of Tuscany, far from the usual tourist routes. With its towering rock walls, hidden gorges, and the thrill of discovering a secret natural world, this canyon offers an unforgettable experience — just a short distance from Villa Le Ginepraie.
