The Bonifato forest (in Corsican language “place of blessing”) is above all a haven of peace, a fresh and magical place which invites you to commune with nature.
To access the Bonifatu forest from Calvi, you must take the road that leads to the airport and always go straight.
Balagne mountain and forest side
The Bonifatu forest is surrounded by mountain ranges where, despite their steep slopes, century-old trees manage to cling: we can call this the magic of nature ! Like its neighbors Fango and Tartagine, the Bonifato forest is recognized as one of the green lungs of Balagne. It is also a mecca for hiking, since the famous GR20 and Mare è Monti hikes pass through there, but there are other less difficult trails in the Bonifatu forest. Like the path along the beautiful Figarella river, young and old will be able to enjoy the natural swimming pools.
The Figarella river will offer a little more freshness to the hiker in addition to the shade provided by the vegetation. Walks along the trails or swimming in the natural pools, young and old will be charmed by this preserved place or can just as easily practice fishing and even climbing.
For extreme leisure activities
If you are a fan of outdoor sports and extreme activities, the places in the Bonifato forest will be your favorite terrain: the circus for those in the know! Known for fishing, hiking and climbing. As for those who wish to surpass themselves, even surpass themselves, take the route of the famous GR20 trail or its cousin the Mare è Monti !
