The "Catafurco" falls are located in the municipality of Galati Mamertino (province of Messina), close to San Basilio village, inside the Nebrodi nature park.
They can be reached only by car, the trail is about 1,5 hours from Messina, 2 hours from Palermo and 2,5 hours from Catania. It's more than 30 meters high, the water falls inside a narrow canyon which amplifies the roar of the water.
