Detailed itinerary

Departure from Guasila, with a route of about 5 km on dirt roads to the Sacred Well of Gutturu Caddi, where there is a stop for about half an hour with a short trek to reach the site.

The route continues to Monte San Mauro in Gesico, where the small church of the same name is located. After reaching the summit, the route continues on country roads, characterised by more technical and adventurous stretches, until reaching the Nuraghe Nuritzi in Selegas.

Crossing the small village of 108 inhabitants

The Nuraghe Piscu, located in Suelli, is one of the best preserved and most impressive examples of Nuragic architecture in Sardinia. This imposing structure, dating from the Bronze Age, stands out for its majesty and complexity, with a central tower surrounded by mighty walls and the remains of secondary buildings. Nestled in a hilly landscape, the Nuraghe Piscu offers not only a journey into the past, but also a spectacular panoramic view of the surroundings, making it a must-see destination for lovers of Sardinian history and culture.
