the valley of the Favare

Audioguide about the place

  • inaccessible area
  • 40-50 minute trail.
At the foot of the Montagna Grande, shortly after the districts of Scauri and Rakhàle, there is the valley of the favares: The Favares are jets of water vapor that can reach temperatures of up to 100°C and which come out intermittently from fissures in the rock, accompanied by time by emission of sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulphide. The rocks altered by the acid gases and hot steam have taken on a reddish-brick color in the vicinity of the vents, which can already be seen from afar. The most important and spectacular of all is the "favara grande" where the vapor in contact with the colder air condenses into droplets of water which, with a primitive canalization system, is collected in small tanks dug into the rock and used for watering farm animals. A spectacular landscape where it is possible to perceive the breath of the island.
