DESCRIPTION
An imposing panorama full of sheer walls. Originating from the erosion of rocks, the Ravine di Laterza is unique in Italy. It is a 12-kilometer-long protected oasis with walls more than 200 meters high where such interesting species as the Egyptian vulture, the lesser kestrel, the black stork, badgers, porcupines and weasels live.
Man has also inhabited this impervious place in the past, creating rock settlements equipped with paths, ladders, terracing and water collection systems.
