Itinerary description

A lonesome alternative to the much-frequented Sentiero degli Dei, with spectacular views of the coast. One of my favourite hikes. It will bring you through different types of vegetation up to the rocks.

I recommend long trousers as there may be some thorns. Also bring some water as you may find none between Bomerano and Santa Maria del Castello.

I do not know why track recording did not work between the goats and Belvedere di Paipo. Just follow the road (Via Paipo).

GPS signal also was not very accurate in the area that I marked with waterfall, maybe due to some signal reflections in the gorge. Just follow the trail in this area. The waterfall is mostly dry.

We follow the road (path 329c), not the sign to Positano (path 329). Otherwise, we would miss the great view at Paipo.
