The Park is an area that develops along the Alcantara river both on one side and on the other. The territory is rich in naturalistic and historical aspects. The path of the river is characterized by a bed of volcanic rocks that branch off from Muoio Alcantara to reach its mouth in the municipality of Giardini Naxos. On its way the river has carved the rock forming areas of high tourist interest. The most famous attraction is the Alcantara Gorges.
