[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Cava Grande is the deepest of all the limestone canyons in the Monti Iblei in SE Sicily. It's 280 metres down from the Belvedere, and will take you a good three hours to walk down and get back. You have to sign in before you are allowed to descend. At the bottom there is a series of natural swimming pools created by the river Cassabile. It's Italy's (and perhaps Europe's) nearest approach to the Grand Canyon of Colorado.
