Among the many natural beauties of Cilento, the Capelli di Venere waterfalls in Casaletto Spartano deserve special mention. The Capelli di Venere waterfalls are among the most beautiful in Campania and are visited from all over Italy. Cilento's most famous waterfall is located within the Capello Oasis. The Capelli di Venere waterfall is formed by the Bussentino, a tributary of the Bussento River. The Capelli di Venere waterfall is a natural spectacle, a union of three elements: the water of the Bussentino flows over the maidenhair fern plant that grows attached to the rock. The Capelli di Venere waterfall has created natural pools in the riverbed where you can even bathe. A dip in the icy waters is a real treat, considering the freezing temperatures even in the middle of August.

It's a shame you can't go beyond the wooden bridge, safety comes first, rightly!

Impressive gorge, it's a shame that for safety reasons you can't go further, although there is a closed gate with a path that leads into the dark canyon.

Spring water immediately feeds a grain mill, which has been in disuse since the 1960s. Remarkable flow rate for the area, approximately 90 liters per second.
