Cascades de Purcaraccia, Natural waterfalls viewpoint in Quenza, France.
The Purcaraccia waterfalls cascade down granite rocks, creating multiple crystalline pools connected by natural water slides within the Bavella mountain range.
The waterfalls formed over millennia through erosion of the Bavella granite massif by the Purcaraccia stream, shaping the distinctive geological formations.
Local Corsican communities have integrated these waterfalls into their outdoor traditions, making them a symbol of the island's natural heritage.
Access to the waterfalls requires a qualified mountain guide between July and September, with visitors needing swimming gear and sturdy footwear.
The site features a sequence of natural pools at different elevations, each offering distinct views of the surrounding Corsican mountains.
