Very cool. Had no idea the Romans built waterfalls too… it is really pretty.

How wonderful. I had no idea that such things existed, let alone were invented so long ago. As I keep saying, they really were terribly clever, those Romans …

As a friendly note: the national holiday (Ferragosto) is August 15th, not 16th, but your guide is totally correct in that it’s chaotic! Pretty much everything shuts down in August here, as the Italians all head to the coast to sit out the hottest weather. Camping on the beach and swimming in the sea at midnight to welcome Ferragosto is a fun tradition to take part in, though.

What a shame you just missed it, I was expecting that to be one of the highlights of your trip.

Intriguing how the Romans focused so much on water in all respects. Centuries ahead of their time…

Pretty awesome! I know it sounds silly to say, but they don’t “look” man made. Never heard of that place, but the pictures make me want to go!

I spent over a week in Italy on my 70-day solo backpacking trip to Europe but I never got the chance to visit in this area. I concentrated in Rome and Tuscany. Next time hopefully I can go to the caves here. Thanks for sharing..

That’s one heck of a vertical drop – and the waterfalls look totally natural. Your first shot is particularly good.
