Cascata of the Marmarico, Natural waterfall in Bivongi, Calabria, Italy.

Cascata del Marmarico is a 114-metre waterfall on the upper course of the Stilaro river, in the Folea valley within the comune of Bivongi, Calabria. The water drops down a steep grey-brown rock face, breaking into thin strands in a narrow upper cascade and spreading into a wide, frothy curtain below. A small lake lies beneath the fall.

The waterfall lies in the Folea valley, on the upper course of the Stilaro river in the territory of Bivongi. On 6 September 2011 it was included among the "meraviglie italiane" of a project launched by the National Youth Forum for the 150th anniversary of Italian unification. Since 2008 the MedAmbiente Bivongi club has cleared and maintained the access path each July.

The name Marmarico comes from the local dialect for "slow" or "heavy", after the way the falling water seems to hang in still filaments. The valley is called Folea, from the Greek φωλεά, "nest". Since 2008 the MedAmbiente Bivongi club has held the Marmarico Day between July and August, clearing and repairing the trails to the fall.

From Bivongi the first stretch is covered by off-road vehicle in about 20 minutes; from the junction of the Folea and Ruggiero valleys the rest is on foot, about 20 minutes along the Folea. The complete route on foot takes 2 hours. A second itinerary starts at Ferdinandea, near Villa Ferdinandea, from the G.E.A. signposted path, about 2 hours of walking. At the base, a short path on the left leads to the second ledge, then the third by climbing briefly on the right.

The name Marmarico comes from the local dialect for "slow" or "heavy", because the falling water seems to hang in still filaments. A second reading links it to a Sumerian root for "shining", as in Greek marmarys, a polished stone.
