Morning light spills across the Nera Valley as the raft shudders into the current — water pushing at the bow, cliffs narrowing, woods rustling above. This full-day outing pairs an active river descent on inflatable rafts with an afternoon at Cascata delle Marmore, where a 165-meter drop splits into dramatic tiers and viewpoints that demand a slow, deliberate walk.
