Cascades de Polischellu, Natural waterfall system in Corse-du-Sud, France.
The Polischellu waterfall system presents multiple cascading levels with emerald water flowing through granite formations in the Alta Rocca mountain range.
The waterfall area forms part of the geological heritage of Corsica, shaped by centuries of water erosion through Mediterranean mountainous terrain.
Local inhabitants maintain the natural state of the falls, which serve as a gathering point for summer activities and traditional Corsican outdoor recreation.
Visitors can access the falls by following marked trails from the Col de Bavella road, with parking spaces available at designated stopping points.
The waterfall features seventeen distinct natural pools connected by rock slides, creating opportunities for swimming and canyoning activities.
