The valley is dotted with peaceful villages nestling within the recesses of the mountains. Bocognano, concealed among chestnut trees, faces the mountain range of Mt d'Oro. Standing at a height of 640m, its cool air, and its proximity to the Vizzavona Forest and the tall mountains of the island make the town a pleasant stop on the road from Ajaccio to Bastia. 3.5km to the south, be sure to pass by the beautiful Cascade du Voile de la Mariée and, a little further away, the statue menhir of Tavera (late Bronze Age).
