Summary: machine translated ➜

Gorge hike in volcanic rock, hardly any slope.

Access: machine translated ➜

By ferry from Milazzo (north of Messina) to Porto di Levante on the island of Vulcano.

Approach (1 h 50): machine translated ➜

Either around the volcanic cone in a wide left turn or a traverse of the summit to then descend into the canyon beyond.

Tour (1 h): machine translated ➜

Gorge hike. Towards the exit then 2 rappel (5m + 15m) down to the sea.

Return (1 h 50): machine translated ➜

Several possibilities: \n * pick up by boat (only possible when the sea is calm)\n * leave ropes hanging from the two rappels and climb back on them\n * you walk to the first rappel where you can see the nearby sea and then walk back (without rappelling)\n * swim back in the sea doesn't seem a real option at 1.5 km distance.
