Tiberio Gorges
In the territory of the Municipality of San Mauro Castelverde, a town in the eastern side of Madonie along the river Pollina, outcrops of Mesozoic limestone shaped by the river erosion gave birth to the Gorges of Tiberio. Reaching and visiting them represents an adventurous moment for people who love practicing fluvial sports. It is their ideal destination in spring, when the river becomes navigable. In summer, it is also possible to swim in the uncontaminated water. Several researchers come here to improve their scientific knowledge.
