Selvaggio Blu

Late afternoon meeting in S. Maria Navarrese, preparation of backpacks and materials, dinner in restaurant and overnight stay in apartment/b&b/hotel.

After breakfast, depart from the small port of S. Maria following the convenient path that in about 1 hour and 30 minutes leads to Pedra Longa, a spectacular bay dominated by the rocky spire of the same name. From here, the trail continues to the wall of Punta Giradili, crosses it via the spectacular ledge, and reaches the highlands of the Supramonte di Baunei and the abandoned sheepfold of Sulpiggi, currently converted into a partially equipped bivouac. Camp, dinner and overnight stay.

Starting from the Ginnirco plateaus, located in the highest elevations of the entire itinerary, you head toward the sea, walking along the edge of cliffs up to 300 m high and sheer to the sea. Gradually you descend, passing Bacu (gorge) Tenadili, thanks to providential "scale fustas" and reach the small and sunken beach of Porto Pedrosu. Bivouac and dinner at the "belle étoile," among the trees inside the beach.

In a short time you reach Portu Cuau, another rocky inlet into which the crystal-clear sea enters. Continue further into the Mediterranean scrubland by climbing the southern slopes of Punta Salinas, among whose summit rocks are embedded spectacular and ancient stone and wood sheepfolds. From here, the view of the below and now nearby Aguglia Goloritze is truly breathtaking! Descending into the Codula Goloritzè by a convenient path, you reach the stunning beach at the foot of the Aguglia.

The route immediately becomes impassable and requires overcoming a couple of rocky passages (3rd) to ascend the deep canyon of Boladina. Next, Serra Lattone and the eponymous, stupendous sheepfolds offer spectacular and unique views, until the rappel that leads to the Bacu Mudaloru grotto. Another good hour of walking in the most rugged and wild terrain to reach Grotta 5 Stelle, a large cavern some 30 meters deep, rich in limestone concretions and a providential water supply. Perfect place for dinner and bivouac for the night.

The day starts downhill...with a nice rappel! Immediately below the cave gives access to some exposed ledges that, alternating between short climbing passages and a large rocky arch, lead to Bacu Tenadili, a sunken gorge that plunges into the sea: having climbed up the gorge, we reach the Olobissi plateaus, from which we reach the secret passage of Sa Nurca (the Lair), a narrow canyon hidden behind a huge rocky flake. Some spectacular rappels give access to the large forests of Biriala and Oronnoro, then more short climbs, two more rope descents and here are the forests and the now long-awaited Cala Sisine. Selvaggio Blu original ends here, with a run-up and final swim in the beautiful Sardinian sea. Soon the dinghy will arrive and, skirting at length the cliffs covered in the previous days, will give a better account of the route taken. Return to the hotel for the long-awaited super shower and final dinner in a restaurant. Overnight stay (in apartment/b&b/hotel).

We'll say goodbye and we organize ourselves to go back home!
