Natural heritage

Any must-see attractions? Explore the Scandola Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, set within the ancient caldera of a volcano that has sunk beneath the waves. Managed by the Corsica Regional Nature Park, this area is a treasure trove of biodiversity, home to exceptional marine and terrestrial flora and fauna, including iconic birds such as the osprey and the peregrine falcon. You can then continue along the coast towards two ‘Gran Siti di Francia’: the Sanguinarie Islands with Punta della Parata and Conca d’Oru, featuring the Patrimonio Vineyard and the Gulf of San Fiorenzo – an unspoilt and protected landscape. The journey can continue along the signposted and less-travelled trails of the Regional Nature Park, ideal for exploring the inland villages, not to mention diving in an extraordinarily rich marine ecosystem. From L’Isola Rossa to Roccapina, from Porto Vecchio to San Fiorenzo, Corsica is an unmissable diving destination.
