For anyone visiting Corsica, the calanches de Piana are a must-see (or a must-stop if you are on a road trip). The road is winding and long, whether you come from Calvi in the North or Ajaccio in the South.


The calanches are creeks and high cliffs of an intense orange/red color. They are located in the Gulf of Porto. It is a geological formation made of red porphyry which is a magmatic rock (the origin of Corsica is volcanic). This hard rock has been sculpted by the wind and the sea creating a natural work of art.  The question is: are the calanches de Piana worth it?  


Yes. Absolutely. The calanches de Piana are worth the detour. It is one of the most beautiful places in Corsica and the whole Gulf of Porto is one of the most beautiful destinations to go to. The rocks have intense shades of pink, orange and red. This phenomenon intensifies at sunset when the light is weak. Moreover, as it is a hard rock, it is straight with fractures. Erosion has created large shapes that may remind us of mystical animals.
It is quite mesmerizing to watch!
