Cascata del Marmarico

Cascata del Marmarico is a natural waterfall in the Folea valley within Aspromonte National Park in Calabria. The water drops from the upper course of the Stilaro river, creating a dramatic formation in this mountain landscape.

This waterfall stands in a region with ancient roots, where archaeological finds suggest settlements from classical times. The nearby area of Ferdinandea shows evidence of long human presence in these Calabrian mountains.

The waterfall holds special meaning for people living in Bivongi, who see it as a natural landmark connected to their local identity. Visitors and residents alike use the area as a gathering spot, especially during warmer months when the cool spray and sound of falling water draw people outdoors.

The route to the waterfall starts from Bagni di Guida and follows marked paths along the river through the mountain landscape. You should wear proper hiking shoes and bring enough water, as the walk takes several hours and covers uneven ground.

This waterfall ranks among the tallest in its region and is notable for the sheer height of its drop. Many travelers overlook this spot despite it being one of the most impressive waterfall formations in the southern Apennine mountains.
