From the canyons, visitors can climb through a thick beechwood up St. Leonard\u2019s hermitage, a place rich with spirituality 1.178 meters above sea level, and carry on up to the Cascata Nascosta (Hidden Waterfall), also called Salto del Rio (River\u2019s jump), a waterfall created by a tributary of the Tenna river. It is worth noticing that in winter this area is subject to the risk of avalanches, and is therefore recommended not to get there before mid springtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Volpara Waterfalls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"748\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whymarche.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Schermata-2020-02-02-alle-18.58.38.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whymarche.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Schermata-2020-02-02-alle-18.58.38.png 748w, https:\/\/www.whymarche.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Schermata-2020-02-02-alle-18.58.38-300x201.png 300w, https:\/\/www.whymarche.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Schermata-2020-02-02-alle-18.58.38-566x378.png 566w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 479px) 90vw, (max-width: 599px) 432px, 536px\" \/><figcaption><em>\u00a9 A.

The path leading to the basis of the jumps is rather easy and popular, thanks to well kept tracks and to the presence of labels and fences. Cars can reach up to a concrete bridge, beyond which the road is closed to traffic.
